Scott is a husband, dad, and entrepreneur in New Orleans. Bothered as a lawyer at the unfairness for the little guys, Scott founded zlien to even the $1 trillion construction playing field. He's on a mission to kill liens, fix slow payment, and eliminate bad outcomes in construction payment. Headquartered in New Orleans, zlien now has more than 90 employees and is used by thousands of contractors and suppliers nationwide to make payments easier on billions in contract value each year. Scott has led zlien through three rounds of venture capital financing, raising over $16 million in outside investment from national venture capital firms like S3 Ventures, Altos Ventures and Brick & Mortar Ventures. zlien is a natural combination of Scott’s life experience. His father and grandfather were general contractors, out of law school he practiced construction law as founding partner of Wolfe Law Group, and since high school he’s owned and operated a software and design company, The Web Lab.
