In 2014, Alex Duta and his father co-founded Romexterra, a fire and water damage restoration company based out of Chicago, Illinois. As they scaled their own restoration business, Alex recognized the lack of technology solutions built for the restoration industry. So, in 2020, after growing Romexterra to eight figures, Alex co-founded Albi-a software company with the first platform built exclusively for restorers and others in the trades. Albi officially joined Y Combinator in 2022, where they gained interest from a variety of venture capitalists. Albi, their flagship product, went live in 2021, and it's quickly become the restoration industry's leading technology solution. In addition to running Albi as the CEO, Alex coaches restorers across North America, and is also a keynote speaker at conferences, such as Albi's Evolve conference for restorers, launched in 2024.
