Alpharetta-based founder of Capital City Roofing and BuilderLync brings a trades-industry voice to the invitation-only council of business leaders.
ALPHARETTA, GA — Brad Strawbridge, founder and CEO of Capital City Roofing and co-founder and CEO of BuilderLync, has been accepted into the Forbes Business Council, the invitation-only growth and networking organization for successful business owners and leaders worldwide.
Strawbridge was selected by a Forbes review committee based on the depth and diversity of his professional experience, his track record of impact on business growth metrics, and his personal and professional achievements.
As a council member, he will collaborate with other leaders in a private forum, publish original articles on Forbes.com, and contribute to expert panels alongside business owners and executives across industries. He will also receive membership-branded marketing collateral, concierge support from the Forbes Councils team, and complimentary membership in EXEC, the luxury hotel, travel, lifestyle, and business benefits program.
“Being accepted into the Forbes Business Council is both an honor and a responsibility,” said Strawbridge. “I’m joining a community of leaders who shape how business gets done at the highest level, and I plan to bring a perspective the council doesn’t hear often enough: the view from inside the trades, where AI and automation are being deployed on real revenue, in real time, every day. My contribution will center on what I call architecture-first AI. Roughly 95% of AI deployments in service businesses fail, not because the technology is broken, but because the operational foundation underneath is. I’m looking forward to sharing what works, learning from operators across industries, and helping more leaders build companies that don’t break when they scale.”
Building a Multi-Market Roofing Operation
Strawbridge founded Capital City Roofing in 2024 alongside his wife and co-founder, Tiffany Strawbridge. The company operates residential, commercial, and multi-family divisions across Greater Atlanta and Nashville, with expansion underway into Charleston, South Carolina, and additional markets in Tennessee and Texas through the Capital City Roofing Licensing Platform.
Brad Strawbridge is also a roofing industry leader and advocate, serving on the residential roofing committee and the workforce development committee for the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), serving as a guarantor member of the Roofing Alliance, and the National Roofing Apprenticeship Program (NRAP).
Capital City Roofing holds GAF Master Elite certification, placing it in the top one percent of roofing contractors nationally, along with GAF Commercial Certification and CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier status. The company is a member of the Roofing Technology Think Tank (RT3) and the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), and a Guarantor Member of The Roofing Alliance.
An AI Platform Built for Contractors
Strawbridge also serves as co-founder and CEO of BuilderLync, an AI-driven CRM, marketing, and project management platform built exclusively for contractors, alongside co-founders Sean Richard, Blake Grissom, James Kuntz, and Edward Oueilhe. BuilderLync is currently raising a $2 million initial seed round to expand its footprint in the $80 billion contractor technology market.
Before launching his own ventures, Strawbridge spent more than a decade in executive leadership, including senior roles at Lowe’s Companies, Inc., where he oversaw large-scale in-home services operations. He is also the founder of Feeding the Future Project Inc., a nonprofit that channels a minimum of one percent of Capital City Roofing revenue into local school partnerships and student lunch programs across metro Atlanta.
