Led by alumni from


Brandon Short
Co-founder and Technical Architect
What Brandon designs
Brandon leads discovery and technical architecture for DevCore Ventures. He designs agentic workflows, teams and workspaces around how the firm earns revenue, uses capital and serves clients.
Each proposed solution is tied to its expected effect on the P&L or the priorities agreed with leadership.
How he develops the business case
He sets out the expected business effect and the assumptions behind it in an implementation blueprint. Leadership can examine that case before detailed design begins and refine it as the team learns more.
The firm’s people set the objectives, manage relationships and apply judgment. They approve consequential actions.
Financial services experience
He applies his financial services experience to business analysis and to relationships with investors and partners.
- He spent more than six years working with ultra-high-net-worth clients as a portfolio manager and private banker.
- At JPMorgan Asset & Wealth Management, he served tech founders, private equity principals and closely held business owners.
- He also worked in Verizon Corporate Finance.
- His broader experience spans more than eight years in capital advisory and management consulting, including balance sheet optimisation for founders and private equity principals.
Outside work
Originally from London, Brandon is a lifelong Manchester United and England supporter. He and Myles plan to start a band.

Experience and education

- He worked as a data analytics engineer at ONEOK before building the AI consulting practice that became DevCore.
