> Yaser Masoudnia is the co-founder and CEO of BlueTape, a fintech company that gives the construction industry's suppliers, contractors and distributors the payment tools and working capital they have long been denied. A serial entrepreneur and a licensed general contractor with over a decade swinging a hammer, he previously built and exited the cybersecurity startup NoPassword (acquired by LogMeIn), then ran the LastPass product team. He started coding games on a Commodore 64 at 13 in Iran and now splits his identity between two worlds most people keep apart: software and construction sites.
