This week at MarketScale, we’ll launch some of our newest contributor podcasts, explore the conversations powering industrialized construction, and analyze the QSR industry’s growing need for personalized experiences.

It’s the start of a new week, and it’s time to scale up.

Why is southern California becoming the hub of green transportation?

On the latest episode of Careers on the Move, a Cargomatic podcast, host Shelby Skrhak spoke to a front-line expert about getting goods from A to B as greenly and efficiently as possible.

There’s no denying that the environmental movement has grown exponentially in the last decade. But, unlike other movements, sustainability isn’t something we can easily measure or notice a palpable change with.

On the first episode of Breaking New Ground, host Joel Pennington brings together two leaders driving radical change in the built environment today, Arol Wolford and Charlie Cichetti

What is the role of 5G in the future of retail?

This week on Retail Refined, VP of Retail, Restaurants and Hospitality for AT&T Michael Colaneri speaks about how 5G will enable retailers to deploy experiential content, such as “magic mirrors” that empower consumers to try on clothes without being physically present.

Will 5G change the ability for paramedics to communicate with doctors in the hospital?

This week on In The Cloud, Host Hilary Kennedy talked with Dr. Arslan Usman, a telemedicine and wireless connectivity expert to find out.

On this week’s MarketScale Roundtable, we’re exploring how QSR is personalizing various aspects of its operations, technologies and experience for the end-user.

The panel will include:

Brandon Powers, KPS

Kevin Bessy, Humdinner

Bill Stavrou, Foodhaul

Margine Biswas, Archiphy

Make sure to follow along for future roundtables. We will also be checking out what we can expect for a summer full of travel on the hospitality roundtable on the 17th.

I’ll be back next Monday for The Weekly Scale but, until then, if you know of a story that you want us to cover, let us know with the hashtag B2BNeverSleeps.

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.

Matt Willson makes the case for modular chip plants

Matt Willson makes the case for modular chip plants

Holland Construction’s Matt Willson argues for modular chip and battery plants. ABC’s updated 2026 workforce estimate is 349,000 net new workers.

  • 0145% of contractors say a project ran late because they couldn’t staff it, making crew availability a bid-time question for owners planning a new plant.
  • 02Once modules are fabricated, design changes generally can’t be made, pushing decisions and costs earlier in the project.
