Founded by Scott Cara, Steve Mazzari & Jeffrey D.
Hey everyone, meet Scott from Elevate, he's showcasing the Elevate AI-powered data management for roll-ups.
Scott (CEO) was most recently a Vice President at Sycamore Partners, a $10B+ AUM private equity firm. Scott is also a Harvard Business School grad where he hob-knobbed with too many finance bros + gals.
Steve (CTO) was a software engineer at Meta, the social media giant, metaverse pioneer, AI talent acquisition firm. He has also seen this movie before as a founding engineer at multiple start-ups.
Jeff (CPO) was a software engineer at a $17B+ hedge fund, before giving into the crypto-craze. His Circle stock sustains us.
The three founders have known each other for over a decade since their CS undergrad majors together at Duke in the not-so-dirty-anymore Durham, NC.

But don’t trust this, ask their customers.
PE / roll-up connections: Find your friends in private equity and tell them about this cool new AI solution that will make their portfolio companies better, them richer, and their lives less miserable.
AI solutions: If you are building an AI tool that could be useful for PE-backed companies (👋 that’s ~all of you!), reach out and chat with the founders to see if there could be a use case for PE-backed customers.

Elevatedly Yours,
