Chad Gardner · Founder
You work with the founder directly.
Chad has been a software engineer for 18+ years. He has started three tech companies. In 2020, he was part of the team that bought a 26-year-old ed-tech company. Its online sales were under $100,000 a year. His job was to grow the business by selling online and setting up the right tools. Online sales grew to more than $1.1 million a year. Now he does the same work for other small businesses. When you work with us, you talk to Chad on the first call, and Chad builds what you need.
