Metrico
Founding team — two co-founders (product + accounting/finance design)
Metrico is built by a two-person founding team: a construction operator who owns product and go-to-market, and a co-founder who designs accounting and finance product logic and advises program reforms inside the SaaS. Next hire: one software engineer in Estonia / EU.

Why this team fits the product
Construction unit sales and installment finance fail when product design ignores field reality or accounting practice. Metrico pairs a builder/operator founder with a practicing construction-finance co-founder (consultant/analyst) so the SaaS encodes both site workflows and money workflows — not a local consultancy stack rebuilt per project.
