Brian Barnes
Brian Barnes is the founder and CEO of M1, a Chicago-based personal finance platform that blends investing, borrowing, and spending into one automated 'finance super app.' He started investing in the fifth grade with a real brokerage account opened by his parents, studied economics at Stanford, and launched M1 in 2016 after concluding that the tools for managing money had barely improved in two decades. M1 has raised more than $320 million, reached unicorn valuation, and grown to roughly a million members and billions in assets under management.
