About this listen
Nicolas Guinebretière is the co-founder of Vestack, a startup reinventing the construction industry with low-carbon materials and offsite manufacturing. By using timber frames manufactured away from the construction site, Vestack can be cost-competitive with traditional cement-based buildings while cutting the building's carbon footprint by up to 3. This is a game changer in an industry representing 25% of global emissions.
Launched in 2018, Vestack has already delivered over 15 buildings and is rapidly scaling up with another 30 projects under construction. In this episode, we talk with Nicolas about:
- His experience transitioning from McKinsey to building houses
- How to start a construction startup from scratch
- The climate impact of the construction industry and available low-carbon materials
- How off-site manufacturing is the key to making low-carbon materials competitive
- How to rapidly scale up an asset-heavy manufacturing business
Enjoy the discussion!
