Bryan brings 15 years of experience scaling early-stage ventures having played pivotal roles in companies like FlipKey (acquired by TripAdvisor), Drizly (acquired by Uber), and TorchPro, a sports media platform enhancing athlete-fan connections. Through his consulting firm, Goodwin Family Ventures, he provides fractional leadership and strategic guidance to early- and growth-stage companies, focusing on go-to-market strategies, operations, and fundraising.

Bryan is also an active angel investor, serves on several advisory boards, and is committed to helping founders navigate the complexities of startup growth. He brings deep expertise in go-to-market strategy, sales leadership, operational scaling, and fundraising for early-stage technology startups.

Combining hands-on operational experience with a strategic mindset, Bryan excels at guiding startups through critical growth phases — because he has lived it. He has been in the trenches as a founder and operator, navigating the highs, lows, pivots, and pressure. That perspective allows him to relate to founders, bring clarity to chaos, and provide advice that’s not just theoretical, but tested.

Bryan has established deep connections within the Boston and Charlotte startup ecosystems, with strong ties to venture capital firms, angel investors, and seasoned operators. This network enables him to facilitate strategic partnerships and funding opportunities for NCV portfolio companies.

Personally, Bryan finds great joy in mentoring, continuous learning, and spending quality time with his family. The intersection of personal growth and professional development drives his commitment to excellence. Which also explains his bucket list desire to play a round of golf at Augusta National Golf Club - a lifelong dream combining his love for the sport with the pursuit of excellence.
