Founders Story
Brandon is currently a MPA student at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) and will be graduating this year as a Sheila C. Johnson Fellow at the Center for Public Leadership. While attending Harvard, he has been focused on studying social entrepreneurship and behavioral economics and has been active in the Venture Incubator Program at the Harvard Innovation Lab. Professionally, he has ten years of experience in financial services, in which he started as a part-time teller but has since covered many roles including wealth management, investment banking and equity research in technology & media. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to recently invest and rehabilitate distressed real estate and previously build a music production studio, which originally started in high-school as a way to make ends meet as a homeless youth. Brandon earned his MBA in Finance from Wharton in 2015 and graduated cum-laude with his Bachelors in Business Administration from California State University Fullerton in 2007 at age 20 after completing two years at Cypress Community College. He is deeply interested in finding innovative ways to increase diversity and inclusion in business and financially empower the underserved to tackle the racial wealth gap. In his spare time, he likes to travel, SCUBA dive, and read Batman comics & graphic novels.
Meeting Rajan when we joined a large team within an entrepreneurship class at HKS (taught by Dick Cavanagh), I quickly connected with him as we worked on the project, a make-believe start-up that was an educational toy subscription company. Through that experience, we learned that we work well together, complement one another's skills, and have common interests in FinTech and social impact. While in Carl Byers, Entrepreneurial Finance class, we have been working together to test and design ideas around a FinTech marketplace platform that provides opportunities for income generation and wealth creation for small or aspiring property managers and current/future small real estate investors.
