Brian Patrick

Brian is a Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society alumnus of Rutgers and Columbia University with 20+ years in Big Four Consulting, FinTech solutions, and Conversational AI architecture with several FAANG companies.  In the last six months of 2007, he ran a $240K Proof of Concept team that helped Fast Search and Transfer (FAST) negotiate a $1.2 billion acquisition by Microsoft in 2008.  While volunteering to help Columbia University launch its almaworks startup accelerator, he architected and pilot tested a tool that assesses and improves management competencies to achieve profitability. This inspired Brian to start this firm through mentorships with the Forbes Technology Council and the XPRIZE Foundation to help founders secure angel investment and VC funding.  Brian continues to provide commentary about small business trends on Bloomberg Radio, CNN, and various Podcasts.  He has been guest speaker at Stevens University Alliance for Innovation & Leadership at Nokia Labs, United Way of Newark, and NYC Software Process Improvement Network.
