Listen to Draven’s Podcast!
Draven McConville is an entrepreneur who transformed homelessness into business success, building and ultimately exiting Klipboard, the job management SaaS platform he founded in London. Starting with just £200 and a bus ticket, Draven’s path from the streets to the C-suite exemplifies resilience and determination.
After experiencing homelessness as a teenager, Draven worked his way up from bartender to CEO, founding Klipboard to help field service businesses streamline operations and improve customer experience. The company grew to serve customers ranging from SMEs to publicly traded enterprises across industries including fire safety, HVAC, facilities management, and healthcare equipment servicing.
In July 2024, Klipboard was acquired by Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS), a multinational incumbent in the world of business management SaaS. It was a significant exit that marked a major milestone for the local tech sector.
A passionate advocate for entrepreneurship and mental wellbeing, Draven McConville regularly speaks about leadership, developing a growth mindset, and the importance of building authentic brands. He believes strongly that SaaS is set for radical change brought about by AI, making strong fundamentals and brand differentiation more critical than ever for sustainable success.
