The Wharton Angel Network (“WAN”) is a crossroads where the human capital and investment capital of our members can coalesce with the big ideas and significant technologies of entrepreneurs. WAN exists as a forum for entrepreneurs to be discovered and accredited investors to directly interact with each of them and each other. Fundamentally, WAN introduces investment opportunities in early-stage companies to our members who are accredited seed, angel and VC investors. And, in 2012, we are adding a human-capital component. WAN will facilitate members exchanging time and expertise for sweat-equity in early-stage companies and entities that universities may want to form to commercialize promising technologies.

BuildOps is the AI-native platform for commercial contractors. Built for the complexity of large-scale commercial work, it replaces disconnected tools and manual workflows with a single system that runs every job from quote to close. At the center of the platform is OpsAI, BuildOps intelligence layer designed for real work in the trades. OpsAI helps dispatchers send the right tech in seconds, gives field crews the context they need before they step onsite, and helps offices bill clearly and stay on top of cash — all inside the workflows teams already use. Founded in 2018 by a U.S. Army veteran, BuildOps exists to give mission-critical trades technology as strong and reliable as they are — so they can operate with clarity when the work is on the line. Today, more than 1,000 leading companies across North America trust BuildOps to power their businesses, backed by Founders Fund, N47, Meritech Capital, and other top investors.
