Brad Zapp is a CFP and the managing partner of Connetic Ventures. Brad has had the Entrepreneurial bug from an early age and has always sought to build companies by exploiting unmet needs and market inefficiencies. Brad was trained at Fidelity Investments as a trader and in 2004 co-founded his first company, a Federally registered RIA. Brad exited in 2014 after growing the business to 17 employees and $500M under management. The company still exists and continues to grow. He has since had 3 other exits in his career. His passion for Angel investing began with a small investment in Choremonster which turned his home into a joyful place. After this experience exposed him to the world of early stage investing, Brad crunched the numbers and ended up co-founding Connetic with the assumption that there was a market inefficiency in current landscape of Midwest Early Stage Investing.
