Mike Brown

Mike Tauiliili Brown is the founder and CEO of Win-Win, a platform powered by gaming and giving, enabling pro athletes and influencers to monetize their fanbase and helping brands engage with end consumers more effectively #WinWin. As a former pro athlete, Mike intimately understands the pain points for influencers looking to leverage their platform, and thus built a company to make that process seamless.

Prior to starting Win-Win, Mike led the mid-market growth team at Kiip, a $32M venture-backed mobile advertising tech startup, which provided a deep understanding for brands and their advertising objectives. Mike was first introduced to the Silicon Valley tech startup scene in 2013 when he finished #1 in the inaugural cohort for Draper University, a 9-week entrepreneurship program developed by leading venture capitalist Tim Draper of DFJ.

Before moving to Silicon Valley full time in 2014, Mike taught himself to code multiple languages and developed a design skill set, which would help him in his transition from tackling to tech. Mike was a 2-time All American linebacker at Duke University where he earned a Public Policy degree before graduating early in December 2008. Mike went on to spend 4 years playing professionally, with his first stop being in Indianapolis where he was a linebacker for the Colts.
