James Chapman is Founder and CEO of Plain Sight, a company that allows people who work on-the-go to build professional connections with each other in gathering spaces. The company derived from him being a serial entrepreneur and his passion for helping budding entrepreneurs. Prior to Plain Sight, he worked with Rock Ventures to help Detroit-based entrepreneurs start, grow, and scale their businesses.

This done largely through a $1M pitch competition, Quicken Loans Detroit Demo Day. Prior to moving to Detroit from his hometown of Chattanooga he ran a workspace open in the evening hours (6pm – midnight) for side-hustlers that work full-time during the day. He is a published author of #TheHustle, and in 2014, he delivered a TEDx talk entitled Create a Culture of Selflessness. His first company launched was an oil change delivery company in 2013. James earned his bachelors degree in communications and marketing from Bluefield College.
