Scott Wolfe Jr - Rethinking Construction Payments

The Vertical Software Podcast

This week we're excited to interview Scott Wolfe Jr. from Levelset.

Here are some of the topics we go through:

Scott's Story

1. How did your family shape you as an entrepreneur? What did you like and dislike about family-run businesses?
2. Why did you decide to raise capital (vs. bootstrapping)?
3. Where is Levelset headed next?

The Future of Construction

1. The construction space is one of the few industries where we haven’t seen widespread adoption of software solutions (especially amongst individual contractors). How is that changing? What role do you think Levelset can play in this?
2. COVID-19 has obviously changed a lot of things. Have you seen any behavioral shifts in the construction space?
3. Let’s fast forward to 2040. What does the tech stack of a contractor look like?

About Scott Wolfe Jr and Levelset

Scott is a husband, dad, and entrepreneur in New Orleans. Bothered as a lawyer at the unfairness for the little guys, Scott founded Levelset to even the $1 trillion construction playing field. He's on a mission to make payments less stressful for contractors and suppliers across the globe. Headquartered in New Orleans, Levelset now has more than 200 employees and is used by thousands of contractors and suppliers nationwide to make payments easier, faster, and less stressful on billions in contract value each year. Scott has led Levelset through 4 rounds of venture capital financing, raising over $47 million in outside investment from top-tier international venture capital firms like Horizons Ventures, S3 Ventures, Altos Ventures, Operating Venture Capital, and Brick & Mortar Ventures.

Levelset is a natural combination of Scott’s life experience. His father and grandfather were general contractors, out of law school he practiced construction law as founding partner of Wolfe Law Group, and since high school he’s owned and operated a software and design company, The Web Lab.
