Brad Edmond

I'm finally - mostly - working on Venture Capital deals as an investor and as an advisor to potential fellow investors. I also invest in real estate, REITs and have a lot of experience with Private Equity buyouts from the acquiree side. I'm local to Boston but global in terms of reach as an Investor Fellow with VU Venture Partners and member of the VU Investor Syndicate, which includes over 5,000 venture capitalists. My passion is climate change, so I'm mostly looking at opportunities in clean tech, green tech, EV, and zero point energy. Other investment areas of interest include: Healthcare Diagnostics, Biopharmaceuticals, AI, Data Analytics, Crypto/Web3, and Consumer Products. Previously, I was a Web, Digital Marketing, and Marketing Operations Leader for 25+ years - developing both B2B and B2C strategies, programs, campaigns, websites, web apps, and operations infrastructure to launch brands & products, build awareness & traffic, generate demand & leads, nurture prospects & customers, and drive growth through data-driven planning, content marketing, search engine optimization, paid search & display advertising, email nurturing, social media, channel partnerships, affiliate marketplaces, and sales enablement. Happy clients & employers run the gamut in terms of industries and markets - from software giants Intuit, Salesforce, and DS SolidWorks to big pharma leaders Merck, Novartis, and Pfizer - as well as large universities Harvard, Northeastern, and WGU to consumer brands Phish, Baby Phat & Sonos. Notable early career highlights includes: re-developing and re-launching the website for renowned speaker bureau The Harry Walker Agency on Barack Obama's Inauguration Day, winning National Financial Partners brokerage website of the year out of 1500 competitors, designing AOL's Africana.com (now Huffington Post's Black Voices) as Creative Director; being hired as the very first Web Design Services Manager at Ogilvy PR Worldwide in Cambridge, MA; landing the contract to co-design, build and develop the MBTA's very first website for Boston's "T" and Commuter Rail; winning a Gold Medal at the Great American Beer Festival as an Assistant Brewer for Brew Moon/Rock Bottom.
