Architects to Founders
Featuring leading startup founders from architecture and technology
Architecture has always trained people to work with complexity: to navigate constraints, think across scales, synthesize competing demands, and create things that endure. Today, that same mindset is giving rise to a new kind of founder — one who has worked inside the built environment, experienced its friction first-hand, and decided to build the software needed to change it.
This series brings together architects who have made that leap: from design practice to product, from studio culture to startup culture, from shaping the built world through drawings and models to shaping it through platforms, data, and code.
Each conversation explores a different entrepreneurial journey — technically grounded, deeply domain-specific, and driven by a shared conviction that the built environment needs better tools, better workflows, and better ways to turn ideas into reality.
Hosted by Bentley Labs, the emerging technology and prototyping group inside Bentley Systems, the series reflects Bentley’s broader commitment to supporting founders working at the intersection of architecture, engineering, AI, and intelligent infrastructure.
This event is for architects, designers, engineers, students, educators and anyone interested in the future of technology.
