Bryan shares his "how I built this "story of how he and his co-founders bootstrapped a lawn moving service near me app to the leading lawn service provider in the country.

You'll leave with some tips on starting something from an idea, to product, bootstrapping it and scaling a company with out ever raising a dime.

About Bryan Clayton
Bryan CEO and Co-Founder of GreenPal, an online marketplace that connects homeowners with local lawn care professionals. 

GreenPal has been called the “Uber for lawn care” by Entrepreneur magazine and has over 200,000 active users completing thousands of transactions per day.

Bryan has been in the lawn care industry his entire working life starting with mowing neighbor’s lawns in high school to ultimately founding Peach Tree Inc, a market leading landscape company in the southeast and growing the firm to over 125 employees.

 In 2013 he navigated the successful acquisition of Peach Tree to Landscapes USA, a national provider of commercial landscape services. 

The inspiration for GreenPal was born out of the frustration Bryan observed while operating the landscape business, and how difficult it is for homeowner’s to find, schedule, and pay a reliable small lawn care professional.
