Our Founding Team
Daniel Babcock
CEO and Founder
Six months after graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology, Dan borrowed $7,500 to launch a company called Modern Marketing Concepts, Inc in Upstate NY. Today, 35 years later, MMC is a leading data, technology, sales, and marketing company that generates hundreds of millions in revenue for top distributors and manufacturers in the building products and industrial marketplace.
​
In 2000, he was recognized as Ernst and Young Upstate NY Entrepreneur of the year.
​
In 2014, Dan launched SalesMark Ventures to capitalize on opportunities to commercialize “big ideas” from entrepreneurs and owners of unique IP, products, & services. Motili and Toolbelt Data are two data, analytics, and technology companies that were built and exited under the SalesMark Ventures umbrella.
Dan believes in fostering a culture of the "square deal," making tomorrow better than today, and work/life balance.
Bringing his 11+ years of experience in accounting, financial planning, and analysis, Corey started his SalesMark journey in 2017. He has an excellent aptitude for critical thinking, problem-solving, and finding better ways to accomplish goals.
Throughout his career, Corey's engaged in business model development, pricing, distribution, and overall business decision-making. He supports SalesMark Ventures' investment as the CFO.

Corey is passionate about turning a founder's vision into a functioning business.
