12 years. $53M raised. One acquisition. Zach Scheel is talking about all of it.

✅ The financial metrics (110% NRR, 94% GRR) that made the deal happen

✅ What a term sheet getting pulled post-signing actually feels like — and how they survived it

✅ Why 10 years is probably a realistic median exit timeline for construction tech founders and investors
