About Brendan Joyce

Innovation and imagination are inextricably interlinked. Innovation without imagination is rudderless acceleration. Imagination without innovation is all noise, no signal. However, when the two intertwine they transform society, disrupt stale industries, and generate the cultures that eat strategy for breakfast.As the CEO and Co-Founder of Pakt I draw on my experiences co-founding a #1 Google Ranked startup, running the production company of Hollywood lion Alan Ladd Jr, being employee #2 at the UCLA and Berkeley-incubated crypto startup PredictEV (Polymarket meets Reddit back in 2018), trailblazing digital activism that garnered over 24 million impressions (back when they meant something), crafting industry-shaping media for Fortune 500 companies, winning a screenwriting fellowship with Ron Howard and Brian Grazer\'s Imagine Entertainment, and overseeing Obama For America\'s LA-based Millennial grassroots efforts in 2008.In short, my lifelong mission is to weave creative, imaginative, innovative connections into generative cultures.
