Zach Bruhnke is a founder and CEO with 14 years of experience building fintech and data-driven banking infrastructure that helps institutions activate disparate data to drive growth and better customer experiences. He co-founded HMBradley, where his team shipped several industry-first consumer banking products and a modular backend that ultimately evolved into MBI, a platform selling those capabilities to other banks. Hands-on technically, Zach has a background shipping APIs and open-source tools (author of the bloggy gem) and previously built developer-focused fintech products at Spout and startups out of YC and HVF Labs. Based in Santa Monica, he blends product-led engineering with operator grit—willing to be “co-founder/janitor” to get things done—and has a long track record of turning experimental banking ideas into production-grade services.
