About Me

Brandon 'Don' Stein

Iā€™ve built 2 investor-backed companies in the past 10 years, a community of 5K+ people, and teams of 30+ employees.

I wasĀ an early pioneer in building the Metaverse when I founded Teooh Inc in 2017. We convertedĀ thousands of people into avatar characters which could engage inside of our virtual world built for iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Steam, and Oculus.

Click here toĀ see the deck I used to raise $5M+Ā from VC's in San Francisco, and build a core team of 20 developersĀ in London.Ā 

In 2015 I started Candela Partners with a mission to bring together VC investors and AR/VR founders. We hosted in-person events in San Francisco, investedĀ $5M+ into startups, and sold companies to Facebook, AMD, and Palantir.Ā 

I also scouted AR investments for General Catalyst ($4B AUM).

I'm just getting started. I hope we can work together.Ā
