The BEST Project Management System for Contractors w/Eric Fortenberry of JobTread
Today I’m joined by someone I’ve gotten the chance to get to know over the last year plus.
We were connected last year by a mutual friend, Nate Burket.
My guest and his company throw a yearly event, called JobTread Connect and they were looking for speakers and sponsors.
We became a partner on their platform, sponsored the event, and then I had the opportunity to speak there as well. It was one hands down one of the best events I’ve ever been to.
What today’s guest and his team have built with their software, loyal community base, and all things marketing/branding is nothing short of incredibly impressive.
Today I’m joined by Eric Fortenberry, the Founder & CEO of JobTread.
Eric’s Bio:
Eric Fortenberry is a passionate entrepreneur who founded JobTread, a construction estimating and project management software company, in 2019 after serving as CEO for a General Contracting company where he built the first version of JobTread to help streamline and remedy their broken processes. After successfully implementing the platform, the company grew from $5 to $8 million in sales and increased their gross profit by 43%.
JobTread has grown to help thousands of construction companies sell and manage billions of dollars in construction jobs. The company has been rated as the #1 Construction Management Software and the #1 Construction Estimating Software by Software Advice and GetApp. Other awards include #2 Software Product by ProRemodeler, High Performer by G2, and Capterra’s Shortlist.
Prior to JobTread, Eric founded OrgSync, a SaaS student engagement platform, in 2007 after quitting his investment banking job where he focused on high growth middle market, web-based technology companies. In 2015, after selling OrgSync to approximately 650 universities and serving nearly 20 million users across 13 countries, the Company was acquired by Leeds Equity.
Eric has been named to Inc.
