Bailey Spell

Bailey Spell is a driven entrepreneur with a strong background in software engineering, particularly in AI and machine learning. His journey into entrepreneurship was fueled by a desire for greater impact and ownership, having left a stable role at Microsoft where he felt uninspired by the lack of direct customer connection and slow-moving processes. He seeks environments where his work directly translates into tangible results and embraces the 'chaos' of startups for the clear feedback loop of 'build > ship > get paid.' linkedin+1

As the Co-Founder and CEO of LedgerUp, Bailey is building an AI-powered platform for B2B SaaS companies, focusing on automating complex billing, collections, and revenue reporting. His experience at Y Combinator refined his entrepreneurial mindset, emphasizing immediate customer acquisition and revenue generation over theoretical strategy. He is passionate about transforming the quote-to-cash process and providing real-time financial insights through AI agents like 'Ari.' ycombinator+2

Academically, Bailey holds a Master's degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Machine Learning from Georgia Institute of Technology, building upon a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Virginia Tech College of Engineering. This educational foundation, combined with early experience integrating AI agents into Microsoft Office and engineering roles at Respell (acquired by Salesforce), underpins his expertise in AI-driven solutions. rocketreach+1
