I co-founded Onsite Pro (S21, formerly known as Greenwork), which is at the intersection of climate and construction. In the recent past I've worked on marketplaces with SMBs and local workers (DoorDash, Rickshaw), and experimented with how the marketplace evolves when software/robotics are added in.
