About

Pumpco is a construction technology platform providing digital estimating, bid management, and project tracking tools for mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC (MEP) contractors — a segment of the construction market that has historically been underserved by general-purpose construction software built primarily for general contractors. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Texas, Pumpco targets the specific workflow needs of plumbing and mechanical subcontractors who manage complex material takeoffs, vendor quotes, and equipment scheduling that differ substantially from structural construction workflows.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
