My digital journey began when I was 20 years old, a story typical of internet entrepreneurs in the late ’90s. I was broke and adventurous, having dropped out of a prestigious university, Mesa Jr College in San Diego. One day, I stumbled upon the internet and decided to build an eCommerce business. I built and sold the business for stock, but the Internet Bust hit around 2000, and I was broke once more.
I then shifted from the nutrition industry into consulting, SEO, and agency work. In 2006 I built my first fully service digital agency, ultimately growing to 40+ staff and selling It to an international agency In 2010. After my one year lock up, went back at it again.
I started a new one and built it into one of the largest Amazon sellers, generating nine-figure revenue. I sold that business but found myself bored, losing my passion. This led to decreased effectiveness and a period of depression, leaving me scrambling day-to-day.
In late November 2023, I discovered ChatGPT. From then until around August, I was virtually unseen and unheard from by anyone, including my family, as I became obsessed. It reminded me of my late ’90s experience, piecing together SEO campaigns. Recognizing parallels with previous digital innovation waves, I searched for a solution that seemed likely to exist but didn’t.
As you might expect with a disease-level addiction to building businesses, I set out to build the software for our companies despite having no experience in building software and only three months experience in the Generative AI space. I enlisted my long-time business partner, who also lacked any software development or AI background. Together, we dove head first not knowing what was at the bottom.
To our surprise, the platform worked. And as we kept going, it began solving pain points we hadn’t initially intended to address. The name of this platform is nBrain. Initially, we developed it for our own use, but soon realized its versatility and potential applicability across any company or department, harnessing the capabilities of Generative AI. So, we decided to pursue it further. nBrain is not typical SAAS. It’s a platform backed by expertise, service, strategy, implementation.
