Democratizing Venture Capital

Bradley Miles graduated college in February. Unlike many New Yorkers that choose high-power jobs (and insane work-hours), he stayed put and wrote a book. It’s called #BreakintoVC, and it’s a really useful guide that decodes the big world of venture capital.

Miles may be young, but he ain’t a newbie to the VC game. In college he started Columbia’s first venture capital initiative. Oh, and he co-founded a social media site for people in the film industry.

Google his name and you’ll find it next to the likes of Fortune, Myspace, and Forbes.

He could’ve easily hit Wall Street or Silicon Valley and b-lined for big fortune, but instead he chose to unveil the somewhat secretive world of investing, because he’s someone who’s down for equality in access to info.

“I want to democratize our access to information and change our dependence on the relationship between money and power.”

Investor John Azubuike says, “Bradley has been relentless in his efforts to contribute to the tech ecosystem in New York. #BreakIntoVC is a testament to his conscientious, giving attitude.”

We hope his path is helping grow the trend of millennials using the tech and VC world for social good, cuz they have the power to do a lot.
