In this episode, Damion Lupo, co-founder of FrameTec, shares the journey of transforming an idea sketched on a napkin into a billion-dollar company in just two years. FrameTec is revolutionizing the construction industry with cutting-edge automation, drastically improving efficiency, reducing material waste, and accelerating build times.
