Startups without existential urgency don’t win, so I build revenue engines for startups.

Today I lead sales at Artlogic, the backbone of the global art market. I joined through Artlogic’s acquisition of ArtCloud, where I was VP of Revenue.

Born in Mississippi and raised in Alabama, I’ve spent the last 20 years building startups in Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, and Atlanta, backed by Khosla, Kleiner Perkins, Greylock, and others.

A lifelong industry agnostic, I’ve helped scale SaaS, marketplaces, e-commerce, and apps across fintech, childcare, sports, and media.

Along the way, we put a Tesla on a credit card, created the first investable crypto index fund, found parents a babysitter in seconds, and built the world’s largest sports social network, where two fans accidentally fell in love.

More recently, I’ve co-chaired the Techstars Atlanta board and advise early-stage startups. I’ve helped 70+ founders raise $270M. Grab my free deck at StartupPitchDecks.com.

Every week, I write for people in the innovation economy, mostly founders and startup employees. I update my Startup Definitions monthly.
