PEARL® Protected
Management Team
David Duley
Co-Founder and CEO
David Duley, originally from Flint Michigan, has called Atlanta
his home since coming here to attend school at Emory University.
After graduating from the Goizueta School of Business, David first
began his career as a financial planner for American Express Financial
Advisors. During the dot.com boom, David tossed his hat in the
ring by starting The Handyman Network, Inc., a unique service that
would allow customers to find qualified contractors for their home
improvement projects with just the click of the mouse. While at
The Handyman Network, David invented "Handyman In a Can™," the
first way home improvement retailers could sell installation services
as a product right off their store shelves.
After The Handyman Network, David began consulting for small and
medium size corporations. While technology sales slipped globally,
David helped develop a new sales platform for a local start up
company that increased sales by over 100%. In 2003, David started
Triad Ventures, LLC, a real estate investment firm.
David is also a partner/advisor to Inno-Labs, LLP, a product invention
and intellectual property incubator based out of Kansas. As a founder
of Inno-Labs, LLP, David has been on the team to take two inventions
to market. Polarheat Seats (www.polarheat.biz) are currently being
distributed throughout the United States by Wal-Mart. One other
invention, ProVent (www.provent.biz) is also being distributed
throughout the United States by Menard's Home Improvement Warehouse.
