Clint Lee is the co-founder and CEO of OneDay, a Dallas-based SaaS video platform that helps senior living communities, multifamily real estate operators, and funeral homes capture and share personalized video stories. He started the company in 2012 after his grandfather died and the family realized they had almost no video to remember his voice. OneDay has grown to work with thousands of senior living communities across the U.S., U.K., and Canada, raised roughly $24 million across two rounds including a $19M Series B led by Volition Capital in 2021, and has since layered in an AI video assistant called AVA.
