Jim Cavale-

Jim Cavale is a 3-Time INC. 5000 Entrepreneur, an annual award that INC. Magazine reserves for America’s Fastest Growing Private Companies. His passion for people is at the core of everything he does in business and life. People who know Jim well, know he is all about relationships and gives unconditionally to those around him.

Originally from Upstate New York, Jim accepted a baseball scholarship to University of Montevallo (UM), an NCAA Division II school just outside of Birmingham, Alabama, where he not only played ball but also sewed his entrepreneurial roots in building a sports broadcasting network for the university.

He then built a sports recruiting tech marketplace in NextSpex, before exiting in 2010 to build Iron Tribe Fitness from one gym to more than 45 gyms across America.

After almost seven years of leadership at Iron Tribe, Jim stepped down as President of the company and sold his ownership to spend his time in building a new SaaS brand in Influencer (INFLCR).

INFLCR serves sports team brands by aggregating their internally-produced content and their current player, coach, recruit and former player social media channels into one SaaS platform. This platform connects to a mobile app that these individual social media channels can use to publish content and tell their organic story on social.

Along with growing this new brand, Jim Cavale has Co-Founded a beauty on-demand app with his wife Yazmin (GLOW), serves as the Entrepreneur-In-Residence for Birmingham’s state-of-the-art Innovation Depot Velocity Accelerator program, serves on the board for the Birmingham Venture Club and chairs the board for The Aspire Movement, a mentoring movement for young fatherless children in Birmingham.
