Chris Carey launched his first venture, Modern Automotive Performance, in 2006 with little more than a dream and a bedroom closet to store inventory. In 2011 he landed at #403 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing privately held companies in the US with 845% growth over a 3-year span. His journey with MAP culminated in 2020 via sale to Enthusiast Enterprises with MAP generating over $44MM in revenue through the combined effort of ~80 employees. Today Chris is VP of acquisitions team at Traction Capital and mentors several of their portfolio founders as a growth partner.
