Brian Nichols is a Venture Partner at Hustle Fund and co-founder of Angel Squad, its community for angel investors. He previously worked at On Deck as a Program Director and Head of Partnerships, and he also co-founded and leads Uplyft, a syndicate of more than 3,500 angel investors who have deployed over $30 million together across 70+ startups.

Brian started Angel Squad after realizing how many people around the world want to get into angel investing but do not know where to start or how to access real deal flow. He built Angel Squad to combine hands-on investor education with direct access to Hustle Fund's own pipeline, so members can learn by actually investing rather than just reading about it.
