We spoke with Brett to learn more about the vision behind Brass Synergy and discover some of the key insights and experiences that have shaped his remarkable career.

​

Brett, can you tell us about your background and how you ventured into the world of cryptocurrency?

​

I caught the entrepreneurial bug at my first lemonade stand. From there, I ventured into a candy selling business during my school days, teaming up with my mom to sell candy at various events. As I entered high school, I joined my dad in real estate flips, gaining valuable insights into business from a holistic perspective and honing my leadership skills along the way. This exposure to different industries eventually led me to the financial services sector, where I delved into understanding credit and how individuals could leverage it to build businesses and secure their financial futures. Over four years I built a team of 100 individuals across the East Coast, collectively driving the company to over $5 million in annual recurring revenue.

​

It was after completing my MBA, however, that a pivotal moment occurred. I decided to invest all of my graduation money into Bitcoin, hoping to not only make a profit, but also to expand my knowledge of the burgeoning cryptocurrency market. To my astonishment, that initial investment of $5,000 mushroomed into $250,000 within a few short months. This experience ignited a passion within me to explore how the average person could integrate cryptocurrency into their investment portfolios.

​

Subsequently, I embarked on a journey as a financial consultant, collaborating with various clients and multiple startups in the crypto space. Witnessing the exponential growth of portfolios, such as achieving a remarkable 3000% growth for a client within just nine months, was undeniably rewarding and solidified my conviction in the transformative potential of cryptocurrencies.

​

What inspired you to establish Brass Synergy, and what sets it apart from other platforms?

​

Unfortunately, early on in my crypto journey, I experienced a rug-pull where the CEO ran away with all of the funds and overnight over 50 people lost their jobs. I heard countless other horror stories of people hiring in Web3 and workers running away with the money or doing the work and not getting paid. It was a story I’d heard countless times across several industries and one I knew I could change. 

​

At Brass Synergy we envision a future where every individual and company has digitally verifiable on-chain profiles encompassing their education, work experience, skills, and portfolio; all of which will have been verified. Within seconds users can be matched with talent and roles that fit their profiles providing global opportunities and the ability for companies to scale up or down as needed.

​

By leveraging AI and Blockchain technology, we can streamline the interview and hiring process by allowing each party more information earlier, ensuring transparency and trust. What sets Brass Synergy apart is our commitment to tailor our platform specifically to Web3 and cryptocurrency users. By leveraging proprietary technology and a team with extensive experience in the industry, we're able to offer a level of trust and verification that is unparalleled in the market.

​

Could you elaborate on the mission and goals of Brass Synergy?

​

Our mission at Brass Synergy is simple yet ambitious to leverage technology and community to create connections and crypto/Web3 hiring opportunities worldwide in a transparent and impactful manner.

​

We aim to achieve this by providing a platform that not only facilitates seamless hiring and networking, but also fosters a community of self-development where users can gain experience, develop skills, and make meaningful connections.  Ultimately, we envision Brass Synergy as a catalyst for driving innovation and collaboration within the crypto ecosystem and the world at large.

​

What challenges have you encountered along the way, and how have you overcome them?

​

Like any venture in the crypto space, we've faced our fair share of challenges, from regulatory hurdles to technical complexities. However, our team's resilience and adaptability have been instrumental in overcoming these obstacles. By staying abreast of industry developments, collaborating with regulatory bodies, and continuously refining our technology, we've been able to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of crypto and emerge stronger than ever.

​

Looking ahead, what are your plans for the future of Brass Synergy?

​

As we continue to grow and evolve, our focus remains on expanding our reach and impact within the Web3 ecosystem. We plan to explore new industry verticals, enhance our AI verification algorithm, and further solidify our position as the premier pre-interview platform for freelancers, professionals, and investors in the crypto space. Ultimately, our goal is to empower individuals to thrive in the digital economy and shape the future of work.
