Theinfrastructure
nobodybuilt.
We built Corbez because employee benefits were broken at every company we worked for. So we stopped building another app and started building the layer underneath.
Origin
Thefixwasnot
anotherapp.
The fix was not another app. It was infrastructure.
Every company we worked at had the same problem. They'd invest in employee benefits and local partnerships, then bury them in portals nobody checks. The benefits existed on paper. In practice, nobody used them. The value never reached the people it was meant for.
Corbez is the layer beneath employee benefits that makes them actually work. Verify your employment once and get a credential recognized at every Corbez partner near your office. Companies add their existing deals to the network. Merchants get verified, recurring foot traffic. Employees carry their access everywhere, permanently.
We started with daily local commerce: coffee, lunch, haircuts, dry cleaning. The things people buy near their office five days a week. But the same infrastructure connects to gyms, co-working, transit, childcare, and financial products over time. Each employer and each new category strengthens the network for everyone on it.

Led partnerships and growth at Zelish (Techstars-backed), founded Purdue's Product Management Club, and held strategy and operations roles at Fisker and Redwood Materials. Watched the same broken benefits pattern play out at every company he touched. Built Corbez to fix it. Brings deep experience in marketplaces, supply chains, and network-effect businesses.

Background in robotics, deep learning, and full-stack development. Built scalable tools and analytics systems at Danlaw Inc. and Purdue's Collaborative Robotics Lab. Brings the systems-level thinking you develop building autonomous robots to building a platform that needs to work flawlessly at scale.
We met as neighbors during our Masters at Purdue in 2021. Bonded over building products. Kept coming back to the same question: why don't employee benefits actually work? We've been building the answer together ever since.
