Serial entrepreneur Drew Honeycutt will serve as chief executive officer for Innovation Depot beginning May 1. Honeycutt has successfully started, operated and sold multiple businesses in various industries, including software, real estate, construction and facilities management.

“Drew’s drive to help others succeed in launching their businesses aligns with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Innovation Depot’s partnership to provide an epicenter for technology, startups and entrepreneurs in the Birmingham region,” said UAB President Ray L. Watts, who served as the search committee chair. “We appreciate the time the search committee took to find the ideal candidate who will take our startup community and entrepreneurs to the next level. I am confident that Drew will lead Innovation Depot through the uncertainty associated with COVID-19 and continue to elevate the depot in the national innovation ecosystem. The continued success of Birmingham’s technology startups is more important now than ever.”

Honeycutt helped launch three successful startups, where he raised funding to develop technology, worked with engineers to develop the product and built sales pipelines to convert paying customers. His most recent success, Funnelfly, was launched through Innovation Depot. The marketing app helps software companies and startups use marketing campaigns to convert users.
