Bit & Grain -- Founder Bio
===========================

LONG VERSION (~200 words)

Brandon Carroll is the founder of Bit & Grain, a trade business operating
system built for owner-operators and small crews. Brandon brings more than 25
years of technology leadership experience, including roles at Cisco Systems
and Amazon Web Services, where he saw firsthand how powerful operational
systems help large organizations track costs, manage operations, and make
smarter decisions. He founded Bit & Grain on the belief that small trade
businesses deserve the same advantage.

As someone who enjoys woodworking and building in his own garage workshop,
Brandon experienced the same frustrations tradespeople face every day:
disorganized tools, scattered project information, and no clear picture of
true job costs or profitability. After talking with friends and small business
owners in the trades, he realized the core problem was not disorganization but
visibility. Bit & Grain brings together inventory tracking, quoting, invoicing,
CRM, project management, scheduling, AI assistance, and operational analytics
into one connected system, starting at $29 per month, so small shops can run
with the clarity and confidence that enterprise tools have always delivered to
larger companies.

Brandon Carroll is the founder of Bit & Grain, a trade business operating
system for owner-operators and small crews. With more than 25 years in
technology at Cisco Systems and Amazon Web Services, Brandon saw how powerful
operational systems help large companies thrive, and how rarely small trade
businesses get access to the same tools. He built Bit & Grain to close that
gap: one connected platform for inventory, jobs, invoicing, scheduling, and
AI-powered operational visibility, starting at $29 per month.
