I started BrightFunnel to solve my own #1 problem as a product & growth executive: measuring and optimizing the impact of my marketing and advertising programs. BrightFunnel solves this through its marketing attribution platform, which helps marketers understand how their programs and campaigns have impacted revenues and, in turn, what actions they should take next to impact future goals. Over the first 4 years, I served as the founder and head of product management and data science efforts. I helped build the company from an idea to category creator with global users and enterprise customers such as Cloudera, Verizon, Equinix, Experian, and Acxiom. We started operations in 2013, launched in 2014, raised our Series A in late 2015, and were acquired in December 2017 (at $4M+ in ARR). We raised $11M from Salesforce Ventures, Resolute Ventures, Bloomberg Beta and others. In 2017, we took our new ML-powered attribution product from beta to commercial success. We achieved some ambitious technical objectives in order to deliver BrightFunnel, including: a real-time data pipeline; ETL from multiple enterprise systems each for 100+ companies; complex data transformations, including our patent-pending attribution logic; tools for client-facing data wrangling and attribution configuration; user-facing analytics and BI features.We built the BrightFunnel data platform, analytical engine and web app on Amazon Web Services (AWS), using the following technologies: Hadoop, Impala, Spark, DynamoDB, mySQL on RDS, Kinesis, Pentaho, API Gateway, Lambda functions, Cloudwatch, Athena, EBS, EC2, and S3.I served as the company's full-time Executive Chairman in the 6 months immediately prior to our acquisition.
