"The visibility, the validation and the direct access to builders made exhibiting in the Start-Up Zone a standout experience for us."
Oren Segal, mash Founder & CEO
"Exhibiting in the IBS Start-Up Zone is the best way to get massive exposure in the home building world and get all the right traffic to your company in the matter of a few days. It saves a bunch of time, builds real in-person relationships (which is especially critical nowadays), and is just a fun way to get the brand out there. It really compresses months of effort into a few days of condensed discovery, sales meetings, and follow-ups."
Teresa Liu, Ouros Materials Founder & CEO
"This was our first IBS. We had an amazing location on the exhibit floor. If you sell to construction companies or adjacent, you have to be at IBS. There's no better way to share your product with the market. The sheer size and amount of residential construction experts at the event, there’s nothing else like IBS out there. We were able to speak with hundreds of companies in our market, many of whom became Handoff customers."
Dmitry Alexin, Handoff Founder & CEO
