Get To Know The CEO: Tony Summerville on Fleetio's Growth

Tony Summerville bootstrapped Fleetio for four years out of Birmingham before raising a $3.5M Series A, and the company now serves customers in over 80 countries from a renovated downtown Birmingham HQ with 200+ employees. His story is one of the most compelling cases for why patient, capital-efficient building in a smaller Southern city can produce globally competitive software. Founders who feel pressure to move to a larger market as they scale will find Summerville's conviction in Birmingham directly applicable to their own situation. In this article, you'll understand how Birmingham's 'Magic City' momentum is producing durable, product-led companies — not just early-stage activity.
