Costly, repeatable failures plague complex operational systems where six-figure mistakes are common. Reliable, resourceful founders will use AI to embed intelligence directly into real workflows, turning judgment and execution into durable software advantages rather than heroic effort.
Brad is a veteran investor who's been backing founders since 2000. He seeks out builders tackling messy, high-stakes problems in enterprise software, supply chain, and industrial tech. Brad cofounded High Peaks Venture Partners before launching Primary with Ben Sun in 2015. Ranked #17 on Insider's Seed 100, he's known for a people-first approach that treats venture as a deeply human exercise, not a spreadsheet one. When he's not working with founders, Brad can be found cycling the Berkshires or rooting for his Boston teams.
