Misha Tsidulko Joined the Company He Once Competed With - Then Took the Wheel
Before running Hearth, Misha Tsidulko bootstrapped a rival. His quick passage from competitor to chief of staff to CEO explains a leadership style built around urgency, useful tools and the unglamorous economics of getting contractors paid.
Roman Rusev
Roman Rusev is the CEO and co-founder of Field Complete, an Atlanta-based field service management software company built for property and home service providers that the existing tools left behind. He came up through the trades, not through tech: he scaled a flooring crew at 17, built more than 100 homes by his senior year of college, and ran a network of 200-plus contractors across four home-service companies before deciding the software he wished he had didn't exist, so he built it.
Trevor Maddux
Trevor Maddux is the co-founder and CEO of MotionOps, a Sandy, Utah software company building an all-in-one operating system for home and field service companies - plumbers, electricians, landscapers, remodelers and the like. He spent roughly two decades inside the trades, helping grow companies like Vivint and co-founding Cransten Service All Stars, one of the largest handyman and remodeling firms in the United States, before getting tired of stitching together four or five disconnected apps to run a single business. MotionOps grew out of an internal tool he was building for his own crews; when his technical co-founder asked whether he was building it just for himself or for everyone, the company was born. In 2023 MotionOps raised a $1.2M pre-seed round led by Alpine 100.
