About Marty 🤙

Our latest podcast guest is Marty Ringlein, CEO and Co-founder of Agree.com. Marty’s adventures began in Washington DC, home of 3Advance, and your host Paul Murphy. He grew and sold two of his DC-born companies — nclude to Twitter, nvite to Eventbrite — and was a Presidential Innovation Fellow in the Obama Administration. A stint in San Francisco brought yet another startup to fruition and acquisition (Gather to Brex). Now based in NYC, Marty’s has been not-so-quietly amassing the first 1,000 users to his groundbreaking new e-signature + payments platform. Marty is also Co-founder and General Partner at Adventure Fund and Meta Fund (both funds that 3A’s Paul and Darren are LPs in).
