QSR restaurant operator turned SaaS

Bio

I started my career early on working in the quick-service restaurant industry. I eventually became a partner in a franchise with dozens of locations across the Us Southwest. I always felt underserved by the technology that was available. When I couldn't find what I wanted, I set out to create it.

I co-founded Parapet Studios in 2012. We bootstrapped our company and now work with several thousand restaurants in the US and Canada. There are so many opportunities that come our way almost daily, but we're still too small as a team and too often have to pass on some amazing opportunities because we just don't have the bandwidth. I've often lamented that "if we just had a larger team... we could do so much more."

I'm here because I'm tired of having to pass on some amazing opportunities. We clearly need to start seeing investment so we can grow our business
