Summary
Dennis Mortensen is a serial founder and CEO with 14 years of experience building and exiting SaaS businesses that span analytics, AI scheduling, and customer support tooling. Based in New York, he founded LaunchBrightly after leading x.ai (acquired by Bizzabo) and Visual Revenue (acquired by Outbrain), and has repeatedly moved from startup founder to operational roles in acquirer organizations. His background blends product, data insights, and hands-on entrepreneurship dating back to early web analytics and digital agencies, and he has taught web analytics at UBC. Known for tackling messy, productized data problems, he often turns operational pain points—like updating product imagery and scheduling—into automated, revenue-ready platforms. An early lesson came from a failed venture in Europe, which he cites as an invaluable "expensive MBA" that shaped his pragmatic approach to scaling startups.
