Brandon Gell
About Brandon Gell
Brandon Gell is the chief operating officer of Every, a media and product studio focused on AI, where he leads the product studio. Every's team page and his author profile both state this.
Before Every, he co-founded Clyde in 2017 and served as its CEO. Clyde was an insurtech company that offered product protection and warranties to online merchants. Every's announcement says he raised $50 million and built a team of more than 100 people. He sold Clyde to Cover Genius in March 2023.
He then joined Every as its first entrepreneur in residence, to help incubate new software and services businesses. He later moved into the COO role. He has also given talks on how he uses AI at work, including a session for Charter.
The public record of Gell's angel investing is thin. Tracxn lists him as an angel investor in one startup. Crunchbase lists him as an investor in the Aristotle seed round. No public check sizes, fund vehicles or investment counts were found.
Aristotle is a voice-first AI tutoring platform for students aged 13 to 18. It announced a $5 million seed round on September 16, 2026. True Ventures led the round, with participation from Wicklow Capital and angels from companies including Anthropic, OpenAI, Sierra, Ramp and Cognition. Lounge's deals desk lists Gell as a participant in this round.
Gell has not publicly stated a thesis, preferred stage or check size. His one documented investment is a seed round in an AI consumer education product. His operating work at Every centers on AI software and services businesses. Founders should treat both as context, not as a stated investing focus.
