Ok, but actually, who even are you? Converge was founded by Raph and Gideon in late 2014 to help build the future of construction more efficiently, safely, and sustainably. We are currently very focussed on concrete, which accounts for 8% of global carbon emissions. We do this with two hardware-enabled SaaS products: ConcreteDNA and PrecastDNA. The team comes from all different countries and backgrounds, but we are all dedicated to building the future of construction more efficiently, safely, and sustainably.
