Who is Patrick Hadley

Like any entrepreneur worth their salt, I've had both successful exits and what I call 'successful failures'—those invaluable learning experiences that teach you more than any MBA program ever could. Each venture, whether it soared or stumbled, added to my understanding of what it takes to build and scale businesses.

My entrepreneurial experience spans the full spectrum of business building: leadership, marketing, strategic planning, sales, and day-to-day operations. I've learned that successful businesses aren't just about great ideas—they're about great execution, great people, and access to the right resources at the right time.

What drives me most is working with great people to build great businesses. I'm passionate about the startup ecosystem—both as an entrepreneur building companies and as an investor backing other visionary founders. There's something magical about that moment when a business idea transforms into a thriving company that creates value for customers, employees, and communities.

AI's potential to transform how we build and scale businesses is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After experiencing setbacks with traditional development approaches, I taught myself to code—proving that with the right tools, anyone can build sophisticated software. This experience opened my eyes to how AI technologies enable small teams to punch above their weight class. Through Momentum Growth Partners, I'm now building AI-driven companies that achieve exceptional impact with minimal resources—accomplishing what once required massive organizations.

SalesLeadAgent.com is my flagship SaaS platform revolutionizing how commercial lending brokers find and close deals. After attending industry conferences and speaking with dozens of brokers, I discovered they all faced the same challenge: spending countless hours on manual prospecting with outdated methods and poor-quality leads.

SalesLeadAgent solves this with an intelligent multi-agent AI system that works 24/7 for your brokerage:

• •Monitors news sources continuously for businesses showing financing signals (expansions, acquisitions, new locations, growth announcements)
• •Enriches prospect data with verified decision-maker contacts—actual CFOs, owners, and VPs of Finance (not generic info@company emails)
• •Provides personalized outreach strategies tailored to each prospect's specific situation and financing needs
• •Delivers qualified, ready-to-contact leads so you can focus on closing deals, not chasing dead ends

I'm honored to be a member of the Forbes Agency Council and have served as a former board member for the Chamber of Commerce. I was chosen to participate in the United States Navy's "Leaders To Sea" program (yes, I got to land and catapult off of an aircraft carrier!).

I regularly speak and lecture at industry events, sharing insights from my entrepreneurial journey and the lessons learned along the way. These speaking opportunities allow me to connect with other entrepreneurs, share practical knowledge, and hopefully inspire others to pursue their business dreams with confidence.
