Tim's Background
Tim Springer built a B2B technology company from his Stanford dorm room to $100M+ in annual recurring revenue—a path traveled by only 1 in 2,500 tech startups.
His story isn't about overnight success. It's about consistent execution over 25 years, navigating economic downturns, solving complex scaling challenges, and building sustainable growth. Tim's unique advantage? A rare combination of technical depth and operational expertise that bridges the gap between product innovation and organizational mechanics.
Throughout his career, Tim has maintained a commitment to both technical excellence and ethical business practices. His experience spans multiple economic cycles, from navigating the dot-com bust to the 2008 financial crisis, bolstering his leadership approach with resilience and adaptability.
Now, through peer benchmarking and battle-tested scaling methodologies, Tim helps CEOs cut through the noise to make better decisions faster and implement growth strategies that actually work.
Real-World Scaling Experience
At 23, Tim took over as CEO of what would become Level Access when the company had just $5,000 in the bank against $200,000 in liabilities. Rather than folding, he restructured the organization, shifted to a more service-oriented approach to generate immediate cash flow, and began the methodical process of rebuilding.
What followed was a masterclass in scaling:
- Transformed a struggling startup into the market leader in digital accessibility
- Grew revenue at 25%+ annually over two decades while maintaining profitability
- Led ten strategic acquisitions to consolidate the market
- Built a scalable SaaS platform that serves 2,000+ organizations
- Attracted growth equity investment from JMI Equity to accelerate expansion
Throughout this journey, Tim developed frameworks for every aspect of scaling—from technical architecture to team structure to operational metrics. He wasn't just following a playbook; he was writing one based on real-world challenges and solutions.
Beyond the Metrics
Tim's work at Level Access went beyond business growth. As chief architect of the company's core technologies, he helped build solutions that have made digital experiences accessible to millions of people with disabilities.
This impact-driven approach earned recognition from the White House as a "Champion of Change" in 2014 and established Tim as a respected voice in both technology and organizational scaling.
After stepping down as CEO in October 2023, Tim launched One to One Hundred to help other founders navigate their own scaling journeys. His approach cuts through theory to deliver practical, tested strategies for the challenges that emerge at each growth stage.
"One to One Hundred delivered exactly what we needed—specific guidance for restructuring our engineering team and optimizing performance. Implementation cut our deployment time in half."
