Zachary Wright MBA's Linkedin Analytics

I didn’t grow up dreaming of startups. I was too busy roofing houses, cleaning blood off OR floors, and trying to figure out how to make ends meet. College? I dropped out. Three times. Not because I wasn’t capable—because I didn’t believe I was. Eventually, I clawed my way back in. Found organizational psychology. Became obsessed with one question: How do we make work actually work—for everyone? From there, I went from the factory floor to the boardroom. From process mapping in consulting cubicles where I was told to stop talking... To leading Strategy & Ops at a publicly traded company—100% remote. That’s where it clicked. We weren’t just working from home. We were trying to work across Slack, Notion, SharePoint, Google Drive, Zoom, and 9 time zones. And no one knew what was going on or where anything lived. The office as we knew it? It’s gone. But most companies haven’t adapted. They’re still relying on scattered tools, lost updates, and crossed fingers. That’s why I built Grapevine. It’s your Virtual HQ soon to be your Virtual Operating System—a centralized platform for remote and distributed teams where they can: → Share updates where everyone sees it → Manage knowledge where work actually happens → Stay connected from anywhere in the world → Work async and collaborate in real-time → Finally operate as one company instead of siloed departments Because if your team isn’t aligned, it doesn’t matter how “busy” they are. Without direction, busyness is just disguised stagnation. Grapevine isn’t another tool. It’s the system your other tools never gave you. And it’s built for the people I came from: The overlooked middle. The doers who keep the company running but are always the last to know. The leaders stuck duct-taping everything together just to stay afloat. This isn’t theory. This is lived experience turned into product. And I’m building it—with everything I’ve got.
