About
Jason Gates is an entrepreneur and technology leader best known for co-founding Compology, a groundbreaking waste and recycling software company.
Compology deployed proprietary camera and sensor technology combined with powerful analytics to give waste haulers real time visibility into their operations, enabling them to reduce contamination, optimize routes, and improve profitability.
Under Jason's leadership as CEO, Compology raised significant venture capital, partnered with the largest waste haulers in the world, and cemented its position as the market standard for commercial hauling visibility before being acquired by RoadRunner Recycling.
Today, Jason is focused on helping founders navigate the complex, high-stakes journey from building to successfully selling their technology businesses.
“The exit journey is the ultimate test of all the strategic decisions you've made over the years. I want to help founders translate their life's work into a clear narrative that maximizes their outcome and secures their legacy.”
