ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is recognizing OneRail Founder & CEO Bill Catania as one of the Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs of 2024 at its Builders and Innovators Summit in Healdsburg, California.
Goldman Sachs selected Catania from candidates across multiple industries to be honored at the two-day event. Catania is a start-up entrepreneur focused on developing and commercializing real-time technology networks. OneRail, a last mile omnichannel fulfillment solution that provides dependability and speed to help businesses meet their delivery promise, is Catania’s latest startup. He was also founder and CEO of digital coupon pioneer M-Dot Network, where he led his team to win the Amazon Web Services Global Start-Up Challenge. After M-Dot was acquired in 2011 by Inmar, Inc., Catania stayed on as VP of Digital Solutions, powering Inmar toward its installation network of 20,000+ retail locations across North America.
"Thank you to Goldman Sachs for the recognition; I'm humbled and proud to be in such great company with so many accomplished entrepreneurs across all technology verticals," Catania said. "It’s been an amazing journey, from singly dispatching deliveries when my wife and co-founder Lisa and I started the business in our home, to a fully automated last mile delivery solution dispatching 250,000+ deliveries per day at the speed of payments across 400 cities and throughout North America. None of this would be possible without our investors, who have never wavered in their conviction; our bold customers who shared our vision and took a chance on an upstart; and our team, who has turned our early vision into reality."
“I am thrilled to recognize Bill Catania as one of the most exceptional entrepreneurs of 2024,” said David Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. “Bill and his team have built an impressive business that continues to grow at scale. We look forward to bringing this year’s cohort together to share insights on topics ranging from the evolving geopolitical landscape and accessing new pools of capital to using the power of storytelling to reach new audiences.”

Previous honorees have gone on to lead multibillion-dollar companies, both in the private and public markets.
