Query:
For Construction Dive's Modular Monitor column, this article
looks at the impacts of COVID-19 on the modular and offsite
construction sector, and what lies ahead. Hotels and apartments
were two areas where modular had gained traction in US
commercial construction. But with both sectors significantly
impacted by COVID-19, what does that mean for modular and
offsite construction going forward? How have modular orders and
offsite construction been impacted by COVID-19? What has been
the trend in the hotel sector? What about apartments? Where else
has modular made inroads, and how are those segments performing
now? Are there areas where modular and offsite have seen
increased demand due to COVID-19, such as employee health and
screening stations, sanitation pods or health care? How has
manufacturing of modular units and panels been impacted on the
factory floor? Are workers able to maintain social distance and
keep doing their jobs? Or has production been curtailed? What
areas of offsite construction are prone to more impacts due to
less travel and more social distancing?Looking ahead, what areas
hold potential for increased modular and offsite construction in
a post-COVID world? I'd like to speak with modular and offsite
construction executives about how the sector is faring in the
current environment. Please contact Joe Bousquin at

the future of their workforce and workplace. Will staff return

colleagues going forward. How are CFOs and their organizations
planning ahead for the post-COVID world? How are they developing
a strategy to move beyond work-from-home in crisis mode to a
post-pandemic plan that takes into account both the upsides and
downsides of a remote workforce? And what are those upsides and
downsides, according to CFOs? I'd like to interview CFOs
involved in the planning as well as topic experts. I'll be doing

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 22 July
Query:
Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and process of
company building, spanning topics such as bootstrapping,
financing, positioning, customer acquisition, channels, team
building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the story
angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.
Requirements:
When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

In TLAI, we interview thought leaders in the artificial

great products, or executives at large companies with unique
perspectives on how the industry is evolving. We discuss trends,
disruptions, entrepreneurial opportunities, monetization models,
challenges, socio-cultural impact and much more in a seven-part
series. Of particular interest to us is the use of machine
learning techniques in scaling analytics models within Big Data.
This blog is part of the One Million by One Million global
initiative, whose aim is to help a million entrepreneurs reach
$1 million in annual revenue. 1M/1M has syndication
relationships with many venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends,

Articles we develop through these interviews often get

named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs) and among the top 100 influencers on
the topic of cloud computing. Indicate in your pitch the revenue
level, as we use this as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. Please also provide the story
angle, talking points, etc., so we can gauge what is the thought
leadership point of view we will be highlighting in the series.
Our audience is extremely sophisticated, so the conversation
needs to be equally interesting. Sramana Mitra was also named as
