Discussion “SCS-NYC: Construction Tech for MBEs”

SCS-NYC welcomes Tough Leaf, a marketplace that empowers diverse firms to win more projects.

Wissam Akra, Co-Founder + President, will discuss how Tough Leaf has built a centralized database of diverse firms in the country that enables MBEs and other diverse firms to showcase their history, strengths, and capabilities at no cost to them. We’ll also hear how Tough Leaf connects general contractors (GCs) to MBEs and diverse firms so they can meet their compliance requirements. Wissam will also discuss how Tough Leaf connects MBEs and other diverse firms to leading programs that have been built specifically for them so that they can get the right insurance policy, financing, health benefits, and construction bonding.

We are also pleased to welcome Billy, the construction insurance platform redefining what you should expect from a construction insurance solution.

Nyasha Gutsa, CEO, will discuss how Billy leverages technology to help its clients find the best insurance at the best price, which is transforming the way companies in the construction industry manage risk. We’ll also hear about Billy’s partnership with Tough Leaf which helps MBEs and other diverse firms obtain the right insurance for their needs.
