About Investor

Charlie O'Donnell is a seed-stage venture capitalist and the founder of Brooklyn Bridge Ventures. He has been active in New York's startup ecosystem for many years as an investor, operator, writer, and community participant. His investing focus is broadly relevant to seed-stage software, consumer internet, marketplaces, fintech, and New York-based technology startups. Their experience is especially relevant to founders building financial products where trust, regulation, distribution, and strong unit economics matter. They understand how technology can reshape established financial workflows while still meeting the reliability expected from money-related products. Their background can help early-stage teams think through product-market fit, strategic partnerships, monetization, and scaling in competitive financial markets. For founders, this combination of operating and investment perspective can be valuable when turning a differentiated financial product into a durable company.
