Marc Gorlin 
Marc Gorlin is the founder and CEO of Roadie, which he launched in 2014 as the first-ever "on-the-way" delivery service. Roadie puts unused capacity in passenger vehicles to work by connecting people with items to send with drivers heading in the right direction. The Atlanta-based company works with consumers and businesses across almost every industry to provide a faster, cheaper, and more scalable solution for same-day and urgent delivery.
Before launching Roadie, Marc co-founded and served as chairman of Kabbage Inc., which provides working capital to small and medium-sized businesses. To date, Kabbage has raised more than $500 million and has provided more than $7 billion in capital to more than 200,000 small businesses.
Prior to that, Marc co-founded VerticalOne Corporation, a content personalization service that was sold to S1 Corporation (NASDAQ: ACIW) for $166 million. In 1996, Marc was a co-founder and an original board member of Pretty Good Privacy (“PGP”), a company formed to commercialize one of the most prevalent security standards on the Internet, popularized in the book “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” Marc helped launch PGP and oversaw its financing, growth, and eventual sale to Network Associates in December 1997.
Marc is a University of Georgia graduate and an active speaker on serial entrepreneurship, innovation, and venture funding.
