A rapidly growing Nashville startup has named its first chief financial officer.
Built Technologies has appointed Sam Kemp CFO, according to a news release. Kemp was most recently chief strategy officer at GoDaddy.
"Sam brings a wealth of experience and a clear passion for the problems we are solving for our customers,” Built CEO Chase Gilbert said in the release. “I am confident that he will help us navigate this phase of growth and become a valuable asset to the future of Built.”
Built reached “unicorn” status in 2021 — a buzzy Silicon Valley term for startups with a ten-digit-plus valuation — with a valuation of $1.5 billion.
The startup’s platform works as a middle-man for those in construction lending in an effort to simplify the way borrowers and contractors access cash from lenders and manage loan disbursements.
“I am excited to join Built at such an important phase in the company’s growth trajectory,” Kemp said in the release. “The construction and real estate sectors are being transformed by the Built platform, and I can't wait to contribute to the team that's making it all possible.”
