✍️ Founder’s Signal
Unfiltered perspective from the founder — interviews, observations, and long-form thinking on where AECO technology is actually heading.
About This Series
Founder’s Signal is a long-form editorial series from Marcin Kasiak — structural engineer, PhD, PE, and founder of AECO.digital and AECOverse. Each edition features conversations with founders, practitioners, and investors shaping the future of construction technology, alongside direct observations from 20+ years working across the US and European AECO markets. All opinions are personal and independent, and do not represent the views of any employer or professional organisation.

Long-Form Thinking
Longer editorial pieces on industry direction, technology adoption patterns, and the gap between what vendors promise and what practitioners actually experience.
