Operators who build, and builders who operate.
Vanno is run by people who own companies, estimate jobs and write software. We put AI to work in our own businesses before we offered to do it in yours.
Paul Gradeff
Founder
Paul is the managing principal of HighBridge, a real estate advisory and construction management firm, and he owns and operates property of his own. He has spent his career developing, financing and running real estate. At Vanno he leads the work with owners and decides what gets built first.
Zach Poncelet
Partner
Zach leads the building. He turns what the interviews find into tools that work inside a company's existing software, and he keeps them working after launch. He is also with Nomadik Capital.
Brett Callaghan
Partner, Construction
Brett is director of estimating and business development at a commercial general contractor, and he works with HighBridge on construction management. He has estimated and managed projects through every stage of a job. At Vanno he tests each build against how a job site really runs.
Jack Tweet
Associate
Jack handles research and outreach. He studies the companies we talk to before the first call and keeps each conversation moving afterward.
We put it to work in our own companies first. If it does not work for us, we do not offer it to you.
