Cintoo, the Netflix for 3D Data with Dominique Pouliquen

There's no magic scan-to-BIM button. This episode covers reality capture, digital twins and where AI actually helps turn scans into decisions.

Reality capture has quietly moved from a specialist niche to something running behind thousands of construction projects. Yet most teams still struggle to answer a deceptively simple question: does what we actually built match what we designed? Getting that answer fast, and sharing it with everyone who needs it, turns out to be where the real money is won or lost.

In this episode, Dominique Pouliquen, co-founder and CEO of Cintoo, traces the path from selling his first company to build a platform that streams massive point clouds into any web browser. The conversation is a rare look inside how a category-defining product actually gets made.
