Nick Ornitz
Nick Ornitz is the co-founder and CEO of Topline Pro, a New York-based company building generative-AI software for home service professionals - roofers, painters, landscapers, cleaners and electricians. He started the company with Shannon Kay after the two met at Harvard Business School and dropped out to build it, pivoting from an earlier video-consult idea called ProPhone after Y Combinator. Topline Pro now positions itself as a full-time AI team that runs the marketing, sales and operations of a trade business in the background, and has driven more than $655 million in booked work for customers across all 50 states. Ornitz raised a $27M Series B led by Northzone in 2025, bringing total funding to $44M, and was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Enterprise Technology list in 2023.
