Over a 25-year entrepreneurial career that spans IP communications, wireless telecom, and finance, Brian Dally has pushed the boundaries of how disruptive Internet technologies can be applied to solve large-scale consumer problems and distribute the value to all.

As the co-founder and CEO of Groundfloor, a wealthtech platform that allows everyone to build wealth through real estate, Brian has helped make private capital markets radically more accessible to new participants. Under his leadership, Groundfloor became the first company qualified by the SEC to offer direct real estate debt investments via Regulation A to non-accredited investors and accredited investors alike. To date, retail investors have invested over $1.6 billion through Groundfloor, while earning an average annualized return of nearly 10%. Groundfloor has also raised $35 million from 7,100+ private investors instead of VCs. Because of its innovation, growth and unique approach to fundraising, Groundfloor has won numerous awards, including being named to the Forbes Fintech 50 (2024) and being on the Inc 5000 List for five years in a row.

Before co-founding Groundfloor in 2013, Brian's career building disruptive technology startups included stints in Silicon Valley, Boston, London and the North Carolina Triangle region. Previously, he led the launch of Republic Wireless to take on the big four cellphone carriers to international acclaim. As a result, millions more Americans can now afford a smartphone.

Brian has a JD from Harvard Law School, an MBA from Harvard Business School, and a BA with Highest Distinction from the University of Virginia. A native of Detroit who lived near Boston during childhood, Brian currently resides with his wife Ashley in Atlanta and Telluride, CO, where he still avidly roots for the Red Sox (but never the Patriots).
