About Lucas Brown
Lucas Brown is focused on understanding the patterns and key components of building software-as-a-service companies that achieve both rapid growth and sustainability. Lucas and his twin brother Lee began their first businesses before starting high school. They quickly found themselves suited for the world of software and marketing - launching their first successful startup as sophomores in college. This became a decade long journey, co-founding TUNE. With his team, TUNE pioneered software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology for digital marketing. He led the company to profitability growth, bootstrapping it for the first three years while growing the company to 75 employees and later raised $35M from Tier 1 VCs, Accel Partners and Icon Ventures. Lucas was influential in growing their company to 360 employees worldwide. He developed an expertise for understanding client needs and translating them into product designs to achieve rapid product market fit. After ten years at TUNE, Lucas and his twin brother transitioned to become bootstrapped entrepreneurs again co-founding Geeks in the Woods. Now in Alaska, Lucas is pioneering the Tech Frontier with Geeks in the Woods and its startup venture studio. Geeks in the Woods are angel investors and software engineers based in Alaska working remote yet connected. The twins's Geeks Venture Studio partners with entrepreneurs to turn software ideas into scaling software-as-a-service companies. As a board member of Geeks Accelerator, he wants to continue to inspire entrepreneurs and software engineers in Alaska. His expertise in SaaS business models, product development, and user experience coupled with his constant drive for innovation makes him a cornerstone of software startups.
