You might not expect the chief financial officer of a polymer company to enthusiastically raise the flag for the concept of conscious capitalism, but clearly you haven’t met David Chisum, senior vice president and CFO of Presco Polymers. On this episode of The Marking Minute, a Presco podcast, host Sean Heath got the opportunity to sit down with Chisum to discuss Presco’s award-winning culture and share what makes their work work so well.

“We like to say Presco is the last best place to work,” Chisum said. The Sherman-based vinyl film manufacturer and safety marking products company was recently honored by the Texas Workforce Commission as Small Employer of the Year, the winning finalist among 24 nominated small businesses in Texas.

For the company’s approximately 200 employees, Chisum said being recognized statewide was a tangible affirmation that “what they do matters.”

Presco’s external recognition comes as a result of the company’s stellar internal culture. Presconian Pride is a phrase you’ll hear a lot as part of its various recognition programs, such as offering student scholarships to its employees, Presco t-shirt giveaways, back-to-school backpacks full of school supplies, and fun social events such as holiday parties, kids parties, and “Ice Cream Fridays.”

“We want our employees to feel comfortable, safe like they’re at home, and feel like they matter because they do,” Chisum said. “People are what make Presco special.”

Also in this episode, Chisum shared why conscious capitalism is a driving force for its management and the difference maker.

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore has announced closed-beta digital twin capabilities, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, that link 3D models to procurement and schedule data and to DroneDeploy site captures. How much they pay off likely depends on how current each contractor's schedule and procurement records are, especially on data center megaprojects.

  • 01Procore’s NVIDIA twin links model to schedule and procurement data, showing how a late delivery can ripple into downstream work.
  • 02A delay simulation is only as good as the delivery dates behind it: projects that track procurement outside Procore would get the 3D model with less of the ripple analysis.
  • 03Commissioning features and a planned IBM Maximo integration are moving alongside the twin, so watch whether it follows buildings past handover as the closed beta widens.

Satellite bus maker Apex is in talks to raise $500 million at a $4 billion valuation

Satellite bus maker Apex is in talks to raise $500 million at a $4 billion valuation

Bloomberg reported on October 22 that satellite bus maker Apex is in talks to raise about $500 million at a valuation of roughly $4 billion, with Washington Harbour Partners expected to lead and Andreessen Horowitz and XYZ Venture Capital participating. The talks are unconfirmed. Apex raised $200 million at a $2.3 billion valuation in June and is working with Northrop Grumman on Golden Dome interceptors.

  • 01Apex's Factory One is designed to build around 200 standardized satellite bus platforms annually, with the June funding allocated for expansion and deeper vertical integration.
  • 02The company is being valued as an industrial manufacturer with a product line, not as a launch provider or constellation operator, signaling a shift in space manufacturing economics.
  • 03Demand for proliferated national security constellations, where the Pentagon buys large fleets of smaller satellites instead of a few exquisite ones, is behind the reported valuation talks.

Procore's AI Go app lets jobsite crews ask their project data out loud

Procore's AI Go app lets jobsite crews ask their project data out loud

Procore AI Go is a voice-first app, now in open beta, that answers crew questions from drawings, specs, RFIs and daily logs. Procore plans to let crews create daily logs and draft RFIs by voice, and to bring its AI agents to the app.

  • 01Procore AI Go starts as a voice lookup tool. Procore says crews will later be able to create daily logs and draft RFIs by voice.
  • 02Neither headline productivity figure measures field voice queries; an independently designed study at Moss Construction is the first test aimed at AI Go and AI wearables specifically.
