Ty Wolfe Jones is a marketplace leader, guru, operator spending most of his career in the startup, tech industry.

Ty comes from an entrepreneurial family, spending his childhood & teens in the cotton fields of Tulare (TO-LARRY), California, patching tires of 40 foot tall tractors, 2 miles deep in a field cresting @ sunset.

Fast forward to "young, reckless cowboy Ty" and we find him operating in the enhanced drink industry, becoming 1 of the 1st founding members of Zipfizz, Cha Dao Tea, PHIX, and Nuun.

After a stint here, he entered the world of startups and worked at well-known names like Tango Card, Uber, & Doordash. 

A lover of the northwest, a fine scotch whisky & cigar, over the course of 10 years Ty's scaled early-stage marketplaces as "The Operations Guy", expanded into new markets @ Uber & Doordash, and forged teams, pioneered relationships, & pushed boundaries

This conversation was a hoot, Ty is a truthsayer, direct as nails, and a fountain of marketplace stories, making him a delight as a partner on this turbine journey into marketplace pandemonium. 

Did you know Ty has a personal cigar room? Think of a sauna, but just for smoking the Earth's most magnificent stogies
