Alex Duta

This legend right here is Alex Duta. This guy is straight-up the real deal in the restoration world. So, he started out co-founding Romexterra back in 2014 with his pops – it’s a fire and water restoration biz based in Chicago. Dude grew that thing to an eight-figure empire, no cap. That’s some serious hustle right there.

But here’s the thing – Alex wasn’t just about running a biz. He saw gaps, like actual tech gaps in the restoration game. Like, these guys were doing their thing but lacked good software to make it smoother, faster, smarter. So, he jumped into that space, built Albiware, a SaaS platform for restoration companies, and damn – it’s now a leader in the field.

Getting into Y Combinator in S22 was a huge win, proving he’s more than just grinding away-he’s out here innovating at the highest level. He crushed it there, raised solid VC funding, and now Albiware is changing how restoration businesses run. He took his real-world industry experience, saw through the bullshit, and built a tech solution that actually works. That’s advanced entrepreneurship.

But he doesn’t stop there. Alex is also a keynote speaker, a mentor, and the guy leading the EVOLVE conference – all about pushing the industry forward, sharing knowledge, and building a community of winners. Plus, he wrote ‘Restoration Millionaire,’ a book that spills all his secrets on how to grow and scale in this biz. That’s some real expertise.

What’s wild is how his process shows what’s possible when you combine industry know-how with tech innovation. He’s not just in it for the money – he genuinely wants to level up the entire restoration game, make it more fast, more profitable, more modern. He saw a problem, jumped into it, and now he’s a leader not just because he’s smart but because he’s passionate about changing the industry from the inside out.

So yeah, Alex Duta is the guy you wanna watch if you’re into startups, tech, or just crushing it in any business. He’s proof that when you know your space, aren’t afraid to build shit that actually matters, and stay connected with the community, you can really make waves. No Cap.
