Tracy Young

Tracy Young is the PlanGrid co-founder and TigerEye co-founder interviewed by Jessica Livingston and Carolyn Levy in Tracy Young on PlanGrid, TigerEye, and Building a Company Deliberately. The episode traces her path from civil engineering and construction-site work into a software company built around Construction Blueprint Version Control.

Young’s contribution to the wiki is the way she turns lived workflow pain into company design. At PlanGrid, she knew why paper drawings, job-site mobility, and version control mattered. At TigerEye, she applies Second-Time Founder Operating Judgment by being more explicit about values, hiring, architecture, remote work, spouse co-founding boundaries, and family support.
