Top SchoolBlaine Vess is a serial founder and investor with 8+ years of active entrepreneurial experience and a 20+ year history of building product-led businesses from dorm-room code to multimillion-dollar exits. He co-founded Student Brands as a college freshman, scaling it to $100M+ in profitable revenue and a $58.5M acquisition by Barnes & Noble Education, and later led Solve through YC S17 to acquisition by Blacklane.

Based in Los Angeles, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with a growing venture and creative portfolio that spans tech, film, and human rights.
