About Me

I’m Brant Johnson, a product-minded entrepreneur and community builder who believes connection is the antidote to loneliness, and the foundation of any thriving society. Over the years, I’ve worked in product management, AI, media, and government, and I’ve seen both the good and the bad of what technology can do. On one hand, it can pull us into endless scrolling and shallow interactions. On the other, it has the power to rebuild trust, spark collaboration, and make relationships stronger. I’m choosing the latter.

​

My career has taken me through startups where I helped shape fintech products, media organizations where I connected with CEOs and entrepreneurs, and political spaces where I saw how communities thrive when people are engaged. Across all of it, one theme has been constant: I love building tools, spaces, and stories that bring people together. Whether it’s designing an app that helps strangers become friends, creating events where leaders can share ideas, or experimenting with ways AI can enhance, not replace, human connection, my work always comes back to the same core belief: people matter most.

 

I don’t see technology as the end goal; I see it as a bridge. A bridge to stronger friendships, better communities, and more meaningful lives. That’s the kind of future I want to build and the kind of work that excites me every day.
