Brant Williams, Managing Partner
As our head of all things Top Line (Sales, Marketing, Business Development and PR), Brant Williams is in love with entrepreneurs and taking their technologies to market. His career began by fixing computers, which led to his fundamental belief that the best sales people understand the nuts and bolts of what they are selling.
Before joining Atlas Accelerator, Brant spent 3 years working with entrepreneurs helping them sell their products and their companies. Most recently, he was founder and CEO of startup sales engine Tenacious Offense. In this role, he acted as VP of Sales/Business Development for numerous startup companies in Seattle. He built a team of world-class sales and business development professionals to help early stage companies take their products to market. Their clients spanned industries, ranging from healthcare, e-commerce, bio-technology, mobile applications, social networking, web 2.0, travel, enterprise security, and sustainable technology. Tenacious Offense grew to 6 people and merged with Atlas Accelerator.
Brant has over a decade experience in high-technology sales. In 2002, Brant joined Amazon.com as Director of Business Development. At Amazon, Brant was instrumental in building and expanding over 10 lines of business for Amazon, including Apparel, Sporting Goods, Gourmet Food, Home & Garden, Beauty, Health & Personal Care, Tools, Pet Supplies, Musical Instruments and Automotive. Prior to Amazon Brant was at RealNetworks, selling their digital media delivery systems to enterprises, educational institutions, government and media companies. Before RealNetworks, Brant was National Sales Manager at Future Shop Corporate (acquired by Best Buy). He was pivotal in growing that organization from 3 to 20 people, maintaining profitability during growth.
Brant is an adviser at Limeade (www.limeade.com), Tenacious Games (www.tenaciousgames.com) and a stealth Web 2.0 startup. He's invested in various projects including consumer products, social media and real estate. Brant is named on 2 patent applications and has a passion for creating markets. He loves his wife, his dogs and jumping off/out of high things. He plays lots of basketball, flys planes, scuba dives and golfs poorly.
