Gravity

Wanted to test whether this profile change would trigger our own tech….

It did.

Chief Executive Officer

“More than 75% of venture capital and early-stage investment decisions will be driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics by 2025” - Gartner

We start today by helping early-stage investors and innovators identify opportunities before they are known to the world.

Founder

Rocket Signals

Rocket Signals is now Gravity. 

We offer a fleet of tech enabled audience monitoring solutions that allows companies to track buying intent signals like fundraising status, job changes, new hires, technology changes, and various other real time data points. Our team has helped sales teams at well-known startups like Sendoso on their path toward $100M+ valuations.

Through education, community, and content, we also are passionate about developing and training the future of tech and B2B sales on the effectiveness of using sales signals to smash sales quotas and fuel gravity defying growth.

Co-Founder

SupportWichita.com & SuppotLocalDallas.com

Built two web-based mobile apps aimed at connecting consumers with local restaurants and small businesses during the shelter-in-place order caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Executed a hyper local launch strategy that grew the user base to over 50,000 in Dallas and Wichita.

Raised money for local charitable organizations and initiatives that aligned with the brand to support service workers during these trying times.

Translation: I hacked together an app powered by thousands of rows of data using no code tools in my parent’s basement. It went viral.

From that point forward, I was addicted to the game.

I'm Drake, the CEO of Gravity. Over 4 years ago we built a platform where 5,000 investors, sales professionals, and founders are using our data insights to gain a competitive advantage.

Gravity is a highly targeted and curated source for new founders and recently funded companies, as well as, founders you need to know! We monitor billions of datapoints on startups, founders, and key talent so you can be the first to discover opportunities before anyone else.

Unlike other data providers, we illuminate key insights around the founders of these companies in a easy-to-use dashboard that helps you uncover their FounderDNA™.

FounderDNA™ helps you answer questions like:

Which founders have had a prior exit?

Who just left a prominent role at a key industry player?

Which founders domain expertise align to what they just launched?

Can gender, age, or geographical location help me identify underrepresented founders who may not be in my network?

And much more!

I talk about data, startups, venture, and early stage investing. Feel free to connect so we can join the journey together on here!

My personal heroes: Archimede, Da Vinci, Turing, Einstein, Curie, Feynman, Gell-Man, and many more.  Of the contemporary ones I profoundly admire the work and ideas of Rovelli, Kaku and Thorne.
