We sat down with one of Houston’s standout Latino founders, Ody De La Paz, CEO and Co-Founder of Sensytec. What began as a University of Houston class project has grown into an award-winning construction technology startup developing Smart Cement—an innovative material with embedded IoT sensors that monitors the real-time health of concrete structures.

Join Priscila True and Ody as they discuss building a startup from the ground up, turning university research into a commercial venture, navigating Houston’s innovation ecosystem, and what it takes to bring breakthrough technology to a centuries-old industry.
