Bryan Thomas

I help companies develop new businesses and get their products and services to market. Over my 15 year career, I have worked in energy, outdoor products, consumer products and enterprise software industries. I have been part of 5 startups in leadership and product roles that have delivered a collective $130M in exits to investors. I thrive solving tricky problems with limited resources and aggressive deadlines. Most recently, I was the CEO and co-founder of PopUp Tech, providing on-demand mass customization software and manufacturing infrastructure to global consumer brands such as Mercedes-Benz. Founded in 2015, the company and I received several notable awards including being named a Top 50 Austin Startups to Watch in 2016, winning the 2016 South by Southwest Accelerator Pitch competition and securing an investment from Chris Sacca on ABC's Shark Tank.

Prior to PopUp Play, I was Director of Product Management at SolarBridge Technologies, which was later acquired by SunPower Corporation (SPWR).
