Nathan Derrick – SupplyHog
February 6, 2015
SupplyHog was launched in 2011 to connect people working in construction with construction supply vendors. So a home builder could use the marketplace to find a roofing vendor. Nathan Derrick, 35, runs the show and recently announced the platform would now allow anyone to talk to a vendor for estimates, availability, delivery and payment. Nathan, whose background includes working in real estate, general contracting and exterior building products, says it’s significant considering construction is one of the last industries to come online. The 10-person company has raised $4M in outside funding and had nearly $4M in revenue last year.

- He’s had over 100 crashes on ATVs, dirt bikes, street bikes, cars, trucks, skid steers and UTVs, and has never broken a bone.
- His bucket list includes driving until he reaches the tip of South America; and seeing 200 mph on a speedometer. (He’s come close--189 on a street bike and 186 in a car.)
- His biggest fear is not living up to the potential God has given him and not being someone his daughter is proud of.
