About FundingUniverse

Who We Are

In late 2004, serial entrepreneur Paul Allen and attorney David Bradford were troubled by the fact that there was not an easy way for entrepreneurs to connect with Financing. Determined to find a solution, they asked current FundingUniverse CTO Trent Miskin to create a web-based solution. Miskin's efforts lead to the first version of FundingUniverse.

In September 2005, Brock Blake joined the FundingUniverse team and assumed the role of CEO, leading the company to its current status as the nation's leading connector of entrepreneurs and investors.
