They built it because they couldn’t ignore a pattern. Jake’s background spans entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan, working with Gary Vaynerchuk, and serving as the right-hand to a figure he calls the “real‑life Jerry Maguire.” Michael’s path began as an early growth hire at a tech company in the music, travel, and entertainment space, a company that raised hundreds of millions before he left to build his own consulting agency.
