I’m Charlie Brizz, a Chicago-based builder obsessed with killing busywork. Today I run Tractorbeam, the AI layer that lets large enterprises, and private-equity teams spin up workflows and automate work using everything they already know.

Before Tractorbeam I exited my first company BarGo, shipped life-saving hardware at Nove, jump-started GTM at Karbon, and vetted hundreds of startups at Plug & Play; all proof that when I spot friction, I ship something people can’t stop talking about.
