Brendan Wallace and his business partner, Adeyemi Ajao, founded San Francisco-based Identified.com while attending Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2010 as a project. They believed there was an opportunity to help guide young people on their career paths by using new technologies and big data to make better decisions. Using Facebook as a starting point, Identified grew rapidly and within a year of its public launch reached 10 million users. Identified has raised $22.5 million in venture capital from notable Silicon Valley investors including Tim and Bill Draper and Innovation Endeavors.

Previously Brendan worked for both Goldman Sachs & Co and The Blackstone Group. He graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelors degree in Political Science and Economics and has an MBA from Stanford University.
