The subscription-based Loopd Inc. provides physical intelligence to corporate events. We help corporate marketers learn how people interact with each other, with the company, and with the company's products.  The Loopd event engagement system is the industry's only bi-directional CRM solution that enables the exchange of content and contact information passively and automatically. Through its enterprise IoT analytics and sensors, it gathers and interprets rich data so that marketers have a more sophisticated understanding of valuable business relationships and interactions at conferences, exhibits and product activations. Headquartered in San Francisco, Loopd has raised $2.5 million in seed investment from Marc Benioff (founder of Salesforce), Tim Draper (founding partner of DFJ Ventures), Rick Dalzell (former CIO at Amazon.com) and other top investors.

Leaders Create Leaders is a business growth consultancy showing conscious leaders how to create legacy, impact, and freedom through an infinitely scalable client-service business. I’ve pulled in the top experts in every field to help consult the growth of our clients’ businesses and missions. Here are just some of our client successes: 👉 Justyn Cruz landed 5 new clients in just four weeks. 👉 Mooch & Melissa generated over $500k in 12 months. 👉 Jena Sophia closed 6/6 sales calls for $50k in revenue in one single day. 👉 Giovanni Gubbels signed a $50k contract with the government in just two weeks. We provide support for early-stage entrepreneurs looking to reach 6 figures, established teams scaling past 7 figures, and we also partner with CEOs who want help exiting their current companies so they can start a more purpose-driven enterprise. If you’re interested in working together with my team and I – or possibly partnering long-term – then email me at ga@gerardadams.com and let’s talk.
