Casey Bell

Yo, you gotta hear about Casey Bell. This guy’s the real deal in the construction tech world, like a legit innovator who jumped into the game and hasn’t looked back. So, he’s a YC alum from S17, which already tells you he’s got that startup hustle. But what makes him stand out is his crazy focus on transforming how buildings get built.

Started out at Turner Construction, big name, right? He managed projects there for years, soaking up the real deal of construction ops. Not just about swinging hammers or managing crews; he figured out how to make everything more fast, cut the bullshit, and bring in tech to level up. Then he co-founded Net30, a total big change in invoicing and payments for builders. The guy saw the pain points, built a solution, and crushed it. He’s not just about creating cool tools; he’s all about fixing the bullshit holding the industry back.

But what really fires me up is his move to start Aecore in 2017, right in the Bay Area. Dude saw how complex construction was getting and decided to create a company that blends dedicated people with killer proprietary software. The goal? Make the whole process smoother for everyone involved, developers, contractors, even the workers. He’s been all about integrating tech into a traditionally old-school industry, and that’s no easy feat.

Before all that, he was involved with X3 Builders, which is basically a tech-savvy general contractor using tech to simplify everything from design to procurement. It’s like he’s been on a mission to shake up construction from multiple angles.

And the dude’s got brains, studied at UC Berkeley, so he’s got that solid foundation. Plus, he’s been recognized as one of the ’40 under 40′ by California State University East Bay in 2019, that’s a big deal, showing his impact isn’t just talk, he’s actually changing the game.

What’s crazy is how all his experience ties together. He’s been in the trenches, managing big projects, then building tools to fix the industry’s bullshit. His motivation? Clear as day, he wants to make construction faster, smarter, less painful. He’s all about pushing tech into an industry that’s been stuck in the past for ages.

Basically, Casey Bell isn’t just another founder. He’s the guy who’s re-writing how we build stuff, making it more fast, more original. If you ask me, he’s the type of person who sees problems others ignore and then goes all-in to fix them. That’s why he’s so important. No Cap.
