Brian Brackeen, Founder & CEO of Kairos

Brian Brackeen didn’t know he was an entrepreneur until much later in life. He was adopted at an early age by loving parents who supported his decision to drop out of college, leave a big job at Apple, and eventually start his own company. Despite having strong ties to Philly, Brian determined that the cost of living, cost of doing business, and access to capital made Miami the most compelling place to relocate his facial recognition and emotional analysis technology company, Kairos.

Kairos has managed several acquisitions and has over 9,000 customers around the world across a variety of sectors including medicine, events and retails.
