Brandon Pride, Small Business Consultant
Brandon plays a critical role in bringing the right people together, assisting with business funding needs and new business development for entrepreneurs, start-up and early stage companies.
As a former managing partner and CFO of a Scottsdale, AZ technology start up, Brandon is painfully aware of the challenges owners face in raising capital for a pre-revenue tech company.
He was able to gain 7 figure funding through private equity and debt financing for his company at a valuation allowing he and his partner to maintain majority control as well as attract an active board of industry leaders.
His relationships span the generations and include Boomers, Gen Xers and Millennials. He attributes much of his success to being mentored by or collaborating with Boomers and values the combination of “old school meets new school” and the successful results of the union.
He provides cost effective plans to gain an understanding of capital truly needed and deliver proven resources required to meet a company’s objectives.
Serving on advisory and fiduciary boards he has learned the value to connect with leaders, perform at a high level and be accountable for results.
