“Brian is a big picture thinker, networker extrordinaire, skilled facilitator and king of collaboration who masterfully builds relationships with and between those who are making a difference in the world. Everybody looking to be connected should have a Brian in their life.”

“Whenever I need to get up to speed on an emerging technology, I go talk with Brian.”

“Brian Nelson is one of the most exemplary people that I know. He uniquely combines an amazing understanding of technology and the ability to communicate clearly with an integrity and ethics that are rare in my experience. He is a true disruptor and cares about people intensely. He is just as comfortable hanging out with billionaires as he is hanging out with homeless people or being in front of a large crowd. He has great passion for helping everyone to reach their highest potential and I am honored to have worked with him on projects to move those goals forward.”

“Brian is much more than an “entrepreneur”. He is a technology creator and a leader. He has his finger on the pulse of emerging and game-changing technology trends. He has a special ability to identify and create opportunities too. When I need consultation on business and technology initiatives, Brian is my #1 resource. He understands how people & technology come together and has an energy that inspires and motivates others to action.”

“When I entered the blockchain industry with a new Bitcoin technology, Brian was the only guy that knew how to help me REALLY understand what it was all about. Not only did he have a simplistic way of explaining an insanely complex industry, he also knew almost every major player in the industry and was happy to connect me to them. As I’ve spent more time with Brian, it turns out he knows a lot about a number of disruptive technologies and has now become one of the few people I call on when I’m exploring investments in new tech sectors.”

“Brian has a way of being on the bleeding edge of emerging technologies and has a definite gift for both creating opportunities and connecting the right people to make them happen.”

“Brian is one of the sharpest technology experts I know. He has the ability to assimilate knowledge on emerging technologies and put it into a concise framework that is easy-to- understand for Luddites as well as power users. Like many other business people who need to keep up with technology, I rely on Brian for explaining trends and vetting opportunities.”

“Brian is a very smart entrepreneur and connector. He combines the confident creativity of a startup owner with the collaborative personality of a team player. He sees that the future of techno-business is as much a function of leadership as scientific advances, and he passionately aims to connect leaders in business, science and politics to extract the best from technology.”

“The strongest recommendation I can give Brian is this: I tell anyone who is looking for a concise explanation of complex technology, particularly in the data industry to speak to Brian first. He has a natural talent for condensing pertinent information into digestible points that can be shared, repeated, and retained. He is a true expert and a gifted teacher.”

“Bitcoin is a revolutionary technology and Brian is a great advocate. He’s always willing to make strategic introductions to help Gyft continue to be the best place to spend Bitcoins.”
