Connect and support: a kind and noble mission that can span all elements of humanity. Connect in one way to understand.  Connect in a second way to bring information streams together. Conduit Tech is developing a means of rapidly connecting technical information to help HVAC contractors excel - what a cool basis for the name of a new company!   In this episode, I am joined by Shelby Breger cofounder of Conduit Tech who explains the motivations and synergies that brought she and Marisa Reddy together to form a company that is creating a technology solution to save time on load calculations. The software uses LIDR enabled iPhone and iPads to collect spatial details that are rapidly turned into a load calculation (think 15 minutes to a load calc for 2400 sq ft). The speed and accuracy should impress customers with targeted comfort and sizing insights, 3D models, and detailed project planning. They are in the early stages of product launch (a paid beta) with 50 users.   Links mentioned in the podcast: Conduit Tech’s website https://getconduit.com/ Shelby’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelby-ann-breger/ Mariss’s LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/marisareddy/ Shelby’s email: Shelby@getconduit.com   This episode was recorded in July 2023.
