Hello Gravel · Wearer of Many Hats
We’re a seed-stage startup building an ecommerce marketplace for bulk landscape materials. We’ve assembled an incredible team with great investors and we’re building some cool things.
A monthly morning meetup in New Orleans for founders and leaders figuring out AI together. We share what’s working, swap tools, and help each other keep up.
Idea Village · Entrepreneur-in-Residence
I mentor early-stage founders in New Orleans. Mostly that means listening, asking questions, and occasionally being useful.
Previously
Levelset → Procore · $500M exit
Built the BI function, then turned it into a revenue driver (we sourced 25% of new revenue in 2019). Moved into data products, then built out Levelset Fintech as VP Financial Products: payments, capital products, using our data to do interesting things.
Stayed on after the acquisition as VP, Procore Capital, running working capital products underwritten by our construction data.
Lucid · $1.1B exit to Cint
Designed a lot of the early APIs and built our analytics teams and business ops function focusing on internal systems. Helped the organization become an army of data analysts! Also built a polling model for the 2016 election that earned a B- from FiveThirtyEight.
Traverst · Co-founder
Co-founded a social travel planning site to connect travelers with local experts. Built a prototype, got into the Idea Village accelerator program and New Orleans Entrepreneur Week Big Idea Challenge. Ultimately didn’t work out, but I still like the idea.
The Receivables Exchange
Started in corporate operations, working on a mix of things: budget planning, board decks, investor communications, analytics. Later spun out the analytics work and built a team and systems around it.
