A Few Key Highlights from the Past Month

• We’re thrilled to share that Bidblox won the UpperBound AI Pitch Competition in Edmonton! This win is a major validation of our vision to harness the power of AI to transform the pre-construction workflow and build a platform that truly moves the industry forward.

• At the event, we also had the opportunity to showcase our product to several construction companies during the Startup Showcase Mixer. The interactions provided valuable feedback, sparked meaningful conversations, and opened up new demo opportunities with potential partners.

• We were proud to be among the top 20 startups in the She Pitches She Wins competition at TiEcon Silicon Valley.

• The TiEcon event has provided us valuable exposure and momentum, accelerating our entry into the California market much sooner than we anticipated.

Our Project Focus

• Plug and Play Pitch
  Participating in the Plug and Play pitch event connected us with a wider network within the U.S. construction industry and provided valuable feedback on our product and market penetration strategy.

• Thrilled to be part in YSpace Technology Accelerator
  We’re excited to be part of the YSpace Tech Accelerator. This platform has been a significant boost for our team, offering strong support and guidance from advisors who are helping us refine our customer focus and go-to-market strategy.

• Enterprise-Centric Approach
  Over the past few months, as we’ve rolled out our product, we’ve further sharpened our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and are now fully focused on enterprise clients. This focus enables us to concentrate on delivering real value and establishing a clear path toward commercialization.

What’s Next

• Enterprise Customer Feedback

  We are actively integrating valuable feedback from two of our major enterprise customers to enhance and improve our product.

• Expanding into the U.S. Market
  We’ll be in San Francisco during the first week of June and are actively seeking connections with U.S.-based VCs and strategic partners. Warm introductions are greatly appreciated!

• Enterprise Customer Intros
  We’re growing our base of enterprise users and are eager to bring more onto the platform. If you know someone who’d benefit from Bidblox—send them our way!

_{For the bookworm in me, here are some quotes from my favourite reads!}

“Intelligence is traditionally viewed as the ability to think and learn. Yet in a turbulent world, there’s another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn.”
― Adam M. Grant, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know
