I am a tech executive with experience bringing people together to build meaningful products and scale businesses across fintech, ad tech, media, commerce, and health. From 0-to-1 to IPO, chaotic startup to institutional corporate, I have built products and teams for fickle consumers to demanding enterprise customers. I thrive at the intersection of engineering, design, and business. I take a first-principle approach to problems--breaking down complexities, identifying root causes, and building back up. I think like a GM--optimizing for business outcomes, testing assumptions, and designing constraints and incentives at hand. In 2023, after 20 years in tech, I jumped into the land of entrepreneurship and CPG. I acquired and relaunched an artisanal water brand and am on track to double revenue by year-end.

Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing grows there! *always be learning *honesty is best *surround yourself with good people I've always loved the intersection of technology and friends. I enjoy the outdoors, playing hockey, social events, traveling, food and wine, art projects and learning new things. Growing up in the Bay Area, I'm an avid sports fan supporting the Sharks, 49ers, A's, and Warriors. You can check out things I have worked on here: www.brandonmbrock.com

A Deal Maker in the AI Space! For the past 8 years, every night after my final meeting at midnight, I have seen this scene unfold. (The night view on the iPhone makes everything look brighter, :)) My journey as a researcher in self-driving car-related technologies began 23 years ago. However, it was in 2016 when I realized the imminent rise of AI and knew I had to be a part of it. That year, I launched a leading AI headhunting firm, followed by an AI-focused media outlet that covers significant advancements in AI research and startups. In 2021, I co-founded the AI-specialized VC - Fellows Fund with 25+ fellows.
