Brandon Dawson is a serial entrepreneur, business leader and scaling expert with years of experience in building, growing, and exiting businesses. He sold his last business in 2016, Audigy Group, which he bootstrapped and built as a proprietary Decentralized Operating and Ownership Organization that shared equity with his customers and employees which he exited for $151 million - 77x EBITA.  Audigy Group was the incubation company to prove out this innovative, shared equity consolidation model. Brandon worked with the public company who acquired Audigy Group and helped them grow from $18 a share to $94 a share within 36 months, adding $3.5 billion in market value. 

Previous to Audigy, he was the Chairman, founder and CEO of Sonus which was a Warburg Pincus backed consolidation company. Dawson listed Sonus on the American Stock Exchange at just 29 years old making him one of the youngest to ring the opening bell. 

Today, combining Dawson’s IP with Grant Cardone's 10X mindset and his massive loyal community, they teamed up to co-found Cardone Ventures where Dawson serves as CEO and Managing Partner. Within the first 48 months, this new venture has gone from a pure bootstrapped startup with zero employees and zero revenue to over 250 employees and over $300 million in revenue with $100 million of EBITDA with no debt and no start up capital by the end of 2023. 

Dawson, a true visionary, has taken his public company experience, with over 130 acquisitions, and $500 million raised in various transactions and billions in value creation to now helping small to medium sized business owners across the world achieve their personal, professional, and financial goals through the growth of their businesses.
