Louisville, KY—Louisville native and resident, John Williamson, is poised to remedy the under-serviced and poorly integrated marketing aspect of the investment real estate industry by launching a new website called Uvestor.com, right here in Louisville this week.
Williamson’s entrepreneurial spirit dates back to age 13 when he started a lawn mowing business in his grandmother’s neighborhood. After graduating from Eastern High School and attending college at the University of Kentucky, he took a break from studies and relocated to Salt Lake City, where he first became involved with the real estate industry and also helped launch guerilla marketing campaigns in support of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
After his stint in Utah, Williamson returned to his home state and obtained a BBA in Marketing and International Business from the University of Kentucky. During his senior year, he became president of the University of Kentucky Entrepreneurs Club, an organization he continues to support and promote. It was during his time with the Eclub that he initially became involved with web application development. Subsequently, he was a founding member of 3rd Dimension Design, the CEO of iHigh.com, and the sole proprietor of Whiteboard Enterprises. He has been involved with the real estate industry to varying degrees for the better part of a decade.
In 2008, he returned home to Louisville to focus on Uvestor.com, his most ambitious project to date. Though the city has seen fewer startup companies and sluggish job creation in recent years, Williamson has overcome both trends and now has his company ideally situated for a breakout year.
