Douglas Carney

Doug has spent the last decade building companies and products that have been used by millions of end users. His start-up experience began early when he co-founded Tag, a social media app that was later acquired by Mark Cuban. Next, he built Renew, a platform helping seniors compare and purchase medicare plans online across all 50 states. He’s also developed software allowing REITs to analyze their real estate investments using virtual reality. He's excited to take his experience building large-scale applications in industries that have historically lagged technologically and apply it to construction. Making construction safer and more compliant holds personal meaning for Doug. His grandfather was injured while operating a backhoe — an incident that left him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The environment on the job site that day was inherently unsafe, and with proper management his grandfather’s injury could have been avoided.
