EP 66: Cam Sinclair from SmartChain


Listen Later

SmartChain is on a mission to kill off the chaos of clunky contracts in oil and gas—and they might actually be pulling it off. We caught up with their co-founder Cameron Sinclair, who’s turning heads with a platform that automates the mess out of invoicing, closes those dreaded “leakage” gaps, and makes cash flow way less of a guessing game. From aligning incentives between operators and vendors to building smarter, data-driven performance contracts, Cameron breaks down how SmartChain is flipping the script on old-school processes and dragging them into the digital age. If you've ever dealt with contract nightmares (or just want your ops to run smoother), this one’s worth a listen.
