Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
🎙️✨ Get ready for a high-impact episode with a founder building massive value in some of the most overlooked corners of the economy: Alex Duta! 🌟🚀 In this episode, we sit down with Alex Duta, Founder & CEO of Albiware, a technology company transforming how fire and water restoration businesses operate and scale. With a background that blends construction, restoration, software development, and business strategy, Alex is on a mission to build a billion-dollar company by modernizing industries most people ignore—but that power critical infrastructure.🏗️ Based in Downers Grove, Illinois, Alex brings nearly two decades of hands-on experience. Before launching Albiware in 2020, he founded and led Romexterra Construction, a fire and water restoration company, giving him deep, real-world insight into the operational pain points contractors face every day. That experience now fuels his tech-first approach to solving industry-wide challenges.💡 In this conversation, Alex shares his entrepreneurial journey—from freelance web developer to restoration operator to SaaS founder—along with lessons on scaling niche industries, leveraging technology, and building systems that actually work in the field. We also dive into leadership, execution, and why the “boring” industries often hold the biggest opportunities.🧠 With expertise spanning social media, online advertising, JavaScript, and operations, plus certifications including IICRC AMRT, Xactimate Certified Trainer, and Water Restoration Specialist, Alex sits at the intersection of tech and trades—bridging the gap between software and real-world execution.🎉 Don’t miss this episode packed with insights on entrepreneurship, vertical SaaS, and how to win big by going where others aren’t looking.🔗 Connect with our incredible guest:📍 LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsalexduta🌐 Linktree – https://linktr.ee/itsalexduta✅ Don’t miss out on more industry insights and founder stories — Subscribe now and never miss an episode!🚨 Follow us for more:📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaningandcocktails/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cleaningandcocktails/?_rdr📊 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cleaning-cocktails/posts/?feedView=allC&C powered by:🌐 Route - A platform of business management tools for Sales, Operations, Subcontracting, Community & Education.
