När världen omkring oss är instabil, är det tryggt att ta några steg tillbaka för att skönja mönstren och se vad som inte tycks skifta. Vad är värt för ledare att investera i som kommer göra er hållbara framöver oavsett vad som händer? Samuel, Leif och Kalle blickar tillbaka över de 15 år som Hello Future nu funnits för att ringa in vad ni som organisation bör göra för att stå mer redo i en alltmer instabil värld.

#133 - Vad har 15 år av att leda i osäkerhet lärt oss?



🎶 I am the Cure (Inspired by SCP-049) 🎶
A haunting operatic journey into the mind of a plague doctor obsessed with eradicating the "Great Pestilence." Inspired by SCP-049 from the SCP Foundation, this track blends gothic melodies with dark lyrics about healing through oblivion. Dive into the shadow of "leather and the steel" as the "Instances" rise anew.
📜 Lyrics

In this episode, Henry Harrison sits down with Jack Carrere, the founder and CEO of Prokeep, a fast-growing software company transforming how distributors communicate with contractors. From a startup born in New Orleans to a nationwide organization with more than 100 employees, 1,000+ distributors, and 40,000 active users, Jack shares his entrepreneurial journey — including scaling through challenges, harnessing AI, and raising over $37 million in venture funding.

Together, they discuss how Prokeep unifies communication channels for distributors, what it takes to survive market shocks like COVID and Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse, and why empowering counter staff through technology can drive entire industries forward.

Key Topics Discussed
🧩 Building Prokeep
Prokeep was founded over ten years ago to simplify the complex communication flow between distributors and contractors.

Its platform integrates text, email, fax, and phone into a single unified inbox, helping distributors manage orders, improve efficiency, and strengthen customer relationships.

Recently launched “Order Engine”, enabling counter teams to proactively generate orders and connect directly with contractor needs.

🚀 Scaling & Growth
Headquartered in New Orleans with an additional hub in Portland, Oregon, plus a remote workforce of “Prokeepers.”

Serves over 1,000 distributors and 3 million contractor interactions through its platform.

Transitioned from a small two-location pilot customer to working with major national distributors like Ferguson, ABC Supply, and PoolCorp.

💡 Innovation in Distribution
Prokeep’s biggest competitor? Sticky notes and fragmented communication.

The platform consolidates disjointed workflows and improves collective intelligence across teams.

New ERP integration automatically generates quotes and shortens response time — a major advantage in winning orders.

⚙️ Adapting Through Challenges
Survived the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank by acting fast.

Navigated COVID-19 by helping distributors stay operational when walk-in counters shut down — enabling contractors to text orders and remain productive.

Learned to innovate under pressure and embrace agility during times of uncertainty.

🤖 AI and the Future of Prokeep
Prokeep now uses AI to analyze over 80 million customer messages, identifying trends and improving marketing response rates.

AI assists in suggesting targeted audiences, optimal send times, and message templates for promotions.

Jack views AI as an accelerant — both internally for team productivity and externally to help customers communicate smarter.

💼 Entrepreneurial Journey
Initially focused on helping contractors manage their workflow before pivoting toward distributors.

Spent years refining the product through trial, error, and perseverance.

Believes success comes from “surviving as long as you can — and letting hard work compound.”

💸 Raising $37 Million in Venture Capital
Early years were bootstrapped before securing major investments.

Seed Round: Led by Iron Spring Ventures and S3 Ventures (Austin, TX).

Series A: Led by Dalia Equity (San Francisco, CA).

Funding enabled expanded product development, engineering talent, and the rollout of Order Engine.

Jack humorously recalls signing funding documents during Mardi Gras — dodging parade crowds to find phone service!

Notable Quotes
“Our biggest competitor is the sticky note.”

“AI is an accelerant — it helps our customers work smarter, not harder.”

“If you can find an industry where technology hasn’t caught up, you can have an outsized impact.”

“It’s not always the first idea that works — sometimes it’s the 20th.”
