From a Basement Startup to a $112 Million Venture: How Eric's Investment Banking Experience Paved the Path for JobTread's Construction Software Success 💼

Eric's journey from an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin to founding his first software company unfolds with a brief stint in investment banking where he witnessed the value of real-world experiences over traditional coursework. Within nine months, he quit to follow his entrepreneurial dreams, influenced strongly by advice to swiftly move out of investment banking. His pivotal moment came from working on a deal with an ed-tech company started by two Vanderbilt students from a basement, which, with an initial investment of just $3,000 each, grew to $14 million in revenue. The process of selling this company for $112 million solidified Eric's love for the software as a service (SaaS) model and set him on his path towards creating JobTread's construction software.
