Co-Founder & Chief Administration Officer, Stone Canyon AI
I've been building internet businesses since 1999 — from viral content sites with 30 million page views to platforms serving 6 million users and 6 million jobs submitted to contractors. Stone Canyon AI is the culmination of everything I've learned about scale, content, and connecting homeowners with the right contractors through the power of artificial intelligence.
Jody Henderson is the Co-Founder and Chief Administration Officer of Stone Canyon AI, a technology company harnessing artificial intelligence to build content and deliver high-quality leads to home improvement contractors. Ranked #10 Preferred Partner in the 2026 Power100 rankings, Jody brings over 25 years of internet entrepreneurship to the home improvement industry, with a track record that includes building some of the most visited websites of the early internet era and managing platforms serving millions of users.
Stone Canyon AI evolved from Project Quote, LLC, which Jody co-founded in June 2016 with Christian Walter and Matt Weidner. Under their leadership, Project Quote grew to manage over 6 million users and submitted over 6 million jobs to contractors nationwide, establishing itself as a major force in contractor lead generation. In 2022, new investors and team members were brought in to transform the company into Stone Canyon AI, pivoting to leverage artificial intelligence for content creation and high-quality lead delivery. Jody has served as Chief Administration Officer since August 2023, overseeing the company's operations and strategic direction.
Jody's entrepreneurial journey is one of the most remarkable origin stories among Power100 partners. A technology and content entrepreneur since 1999, he founded Kentucky WebWorks, Inc. at just 22 years old — an innovative web development company. That same year, he created an ecard, humor, and 'funpages' website that amassed over 2 million subscribers and was ranked in the Alexa top 200 websites in the world. The site built hundreds of pages of viral content with single-page views exceeding 30 million — numbers that were extraordinary for the early internet.
After a seven-figure exit in 2000, Jody co-founded FriendTest, Inc. with Christian Walter in 2003, where they developed viral content at scale. Together, Jody and Christian launched The Laugh Network and The Thumbs Up Network, consisting of dozens of high-traffic websites that amassed around 10 million users. They sold the group of businesses in 2005, and Jody continued managing thousands of domains and hundreds of websites between 2008 and 2012.
Jody's deep partnership with Christian Walter spans over two decades of building, scaling, and exiting internet businesses. He is a Greg Cummings mutual connection on LinkedIn, educated at the University of Kentucky and Western Kentucky University, and is based in Clarkson, Kentucky.
