Grocery shoppers today are dealing with rising prices, confusing promotions, and very little transparency around where they can actually save money. For everyday families, comparing costs across stores can be time-consuming, frustrating, and often ineffective — especially when the system has long favored retailers over shoppers. Andy Ellwood is bringing transparency and real savings back to the grocery experience

Andy is the Founder and CEO of Stretch, launching the first shopping intelligence platform to bring transparency and real savings to everyday grocery shoppers. He has a Texas upbringing as the oldest of four, started his first successful lawn care business at 12, and later sold private jets for Warren Buffett. After jumping into tech, he drove teams that led to Facebook and Google acquisitions. But it was co-founding Basket, the pioneer in grocery price transparency, where Andy saw firsthand how challenging and critical it is to disrupt old industries for the benefit of real people.

Many organizations still rely on manual inventory tracking—counting items by hand, estimating usage, or entering data after the fact. This often leads to inaccurate reporting, wasted inventory, and costly operational blind spots.

That’s the problem Countifi and it's founder David Hailey are solving by using AI and computer vision to automatically track inventory and provide real-time insights.

David is the Founder and CEO of Countifi, an Atlanta-based company transforming how organizations manage inventory through artificial intelligence and computer vision.

Countifi replaces manual inventory counting with AI-powered visual recognition technology that can automatically track and manage assets in real time. By simply using cameras or mobile devices, organizations can capture images of their inventory and instantly generate accurate counts, analytics, and reports that help forecast demand, reduce waste, and improve operational efficiency.
