Brady Brim-DeForest
I'm an author, investor, and serial entrepreneur who has founded over half a dozen companies. I am chairman of BluShift Aerospace, and Managing Partner at Late Stage Capital. I am a founder of Monks. Previously, as CEO of Formula.Monks (www.formula.co), the technology solutions division of Monks, I led a global team of consultants, engineers, designers, and strategists who help the world's most ambitious companies transform their businesses with AI. With over 20 years of experience in organizational design, culture building, product design, brand strategy, and startup management, I have a unique ability to adapt proven ideas and apply them in unrelated disciplines, maximizing returns, building market share, and repositioning brands for category leadership. I'm on a mission to transform the future of innovation. I have co-founded six successful startups, pioneered new verticals, and closed over $500 million in sales. I also co-founded and served as the executive producer of the Streamys, the world's premier awards show honoring the best in online video and the creators behind it. I am passionate about creating positive social impact through technology, media, and education, and I advise several nonprofits and initiatives in these fields. I am also a frequent speaker, writer, and mentor on topics such as AI, innovation, entrepreneurship, and diversity. In 2024, I released my first book, 'Smaller is Better: Using Small Autonomous Teams to Drive the Future of Enterprise' — learn more and order your copy here: www.smallerbetter.com
