Welcome back to How They Scaled It, the podcast where scaling businesses meets innovation, strategy, and a little bit of grit. Today, I sit down with Chris Doyle, the President and CEO of Billd —a financial solutions company that empowers subcontractors across the U.S.
Chris shared his journey from identifying inefficiencies in the construction industry to launching Billd as a game-changing solution for financial growth. If you’re curious about what it takes to innovate in a niche market like construction finance—and to do it profitably—this episode is for you.
