Eric Brown
Founder & Advisor Early-Stage Startups & AI Innovation
Denver, Colorado, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Brown is a founder, advisor, and hands-on technologist with 30 years of experience turning ambiguous AI and data opportunities into deliverable products and sound investment decisions. He founded and exited an NLP/ML fintech startup, has held CTO/CIO and fractional CTO roles across financial services and consulting firms, and now runs Draco Ventures and Crossing Digital to advise early-stage AI startups. Eric pairs a D.Sc. in Information Systems and an MBA with deep practical experience shipping NLP, ML, and data infrastructure—so his verdicts on feasibility are grounded in real-world implementation, not vendor hype. He leads builds when needed, performs technical due diligence for acquisitions, and has driven defenses against synthetic media threats in recent work. Based on Colorado’s Front Range, he balances strategic advising with hands-on delivery and an unusual extra-curricular focus on search-and-rescue operations and landscape photography. Clients value that he’s independent of vendor commissions, offering recommendations solely in their interest.
