About the Speaker

Currently, Sedale Turbovsky is the CEO and co-founder of OpenGrants, a venture-backed startup focused on building modern infrastructure for grant funding.  Prior to OpenGrants, Sedale served as the CEO of carbonBLU, a venture, and grant-backed SaaS startup solving challenges in fleet management. Sedale led the company through MVP and helped secure a healthy pipeline of government contracts. During that time, he gained intimate knowledge of the challenges and pitfalls of applying for and managing grant funding as a technology startup, which was the impetus for OpenGrants.

He is experienced in independent grant writing and public/private partnerships at the highest level, having worked directly with one of OpenGrants’ early investors and strategic partners, Momentum in the development of multiple successful grant applications. He is also well-versed in working across cultures and environments, with over five years’ experience as a consultant in South America. You can read some about his adventures on his blog ModernZen.

Sedale brings with him a history of leading successful teams, experience with—and deep connections to—the public sector, and a passion for building companies with a strong social mission. Some of his super powers include fundraising, team building, no-code wizardry and the ability to run on less sleep than most other humans.

Sedale is a founding fellow of the OnDeck Climate Tech fellowship and an ardent advocate for economic empowerment and innovation as economic development. Sedale is married to a rockstar human being Allyson Turbovsky and together they have two boys.
