Meet Brian Smith
Brian Smith has a diverse and dynamic background spanning start-ups, corporate giants, fundraising, mergers and acquisitions, and collaborations with industry leaders. Proficient in guiding companies through various stages of growth, Brian has a track record of success in propelling businesses to new heights. His entrepreneurial spirit shone brightly in 2022 when he and co-founder Jerry Harrison, renowned musician of Talking Heads fame, made a successful exit from their healthcare-centric crowdfunding platform, RedCrow.
With a keen eye for innovation, Brian navigated RedCrow through the turbulent waters of 2020 by swiftly transitioning to online platforms and developing cutting-edge software for storytelling and investor engagement. This initiative culminated in the creation of The Main Stage, a standalone software company. Under Brian’s leadership, RedCrow facilitated investments exceeding $200 million for companies while establishing a strong presence in the crowdfunding arena. Brian’s accolades include features in prestigious publications such as Forbes, Entrepreneur, Barron’s, and Inc., along with appearances on notable financial news channels.
His professional journey began in project management for industry giants like New Balance and Reebok, leading to a successful sales career with Abbot Labs and eventually a pivotal role at Morgan Stanley. Brian’s firsthand experience in private equity, fundraising intricacies, and regulatory compliance further honed his expertise in the start-up ecosystem.
Post his exit from RedCrow, Brian spearheaded the development of The Main Stage software, a testament to his relentless pursuit of innovation. Simultaneously, he found solace in exploring his creative side through photography, showcasing his captivating work at briansmithphotog.com. The inception of Eleventh House Agency alongside his partner reflects Brian’s dedication to sharing insights amassed over years of professional and personal growth. With a mission to empower clients through knowledge and expertise, Brian eagerly anticipates embarking on collective journeys towards realizing their aspirations.
