Company

Cake’s founding team is made up of industry veterans Jason Griffith, Bill Evick, Ross Goldenberg and John Bonds. With over a century of combined domain experience and multiple successful exits, they recently sold SiteCompli (compliance automation) and Aptexx (mobile rent payments and messaging) to InhabitIQ (backed by Providence Equity, Insight Venture Partners, Goldman Sachs). The Cake team sees a $30 trillion asset class managed by disorganized email chains and unsecured text messages and is intent on making Cake the real estate industry standard platform for team communication.

Management Style

Position reports to the CTO/Co-Founder.
