Blake Nolan — Co-Founder
I dropped out of college to cold call into enterprise accounts for $10 an hour. For two years, that's what I earned. The real value was working alongside my CEO, who kept his door open so I could hear and learn everything I could. Then he let me start selling and I was hooked. Today, I help startups raise funding, grow revenue, and maximize valuation for acquisition. As an expert in the B2B SaaS data space, I also consult hedge funds and other entities looking for industry insights, the competitive landscape, GTM strategy, and market trends. First venture: Leap of faith, joined a small early stage startup. Drove across the country multiple times until I landed face-to-face customers in all lower 48 states. Grew sales team from 3 to 50. Promoted to CEO. Second venture: SaaS. Founding Account Executive and Employee #5 at Seamless.AI. Very proud of what we built at Seamless: taking an idea from our founder's mind, and growing it to a mainstream B2B brand/SaaS product at scale. Earned "Top 10 US Startup" by LinkedIn. All time company records I held at Seamless.AI 1. Profitability 2. Close Rate 3. Quota Attainment Outside of work, I enjoy golf, poker, and exploring the world.
