Brian Tochman is the Founder and CEO of Fluxco, an AI-powered procurement platform for electrical grid infrastructure headquartered in Austin, Texas, tackling one of the most critical bottlenecks in the modern energy economy.

Brian earned a B.S. in Applied Engineering Sciences with a focus on Supply Chain Management from Michigan State University and an M.S. in Systems Engineering from Southern Methodist University, before building an extensive career spanning private equity, operations, and venture capital.

With deep roots in supply chain and operations, Brian co-founded Trust Ventures as a General Partner, backing frontier companies facing policy and market barriers, and previously served as President and COO of modular housing startup Kasita.

Brian also held roles at Platinum Equity in business development and M&A, and at Alvarez and Marsal in private equity performance improvement, giving him a rare blend of investing and operational expertise.

Fluxco generated approximately $30 million in orders within its first four months, processed orders for over 1,000 transformers across 34 projects, and raised a $26 million seed round co-led by 8VC and Congruent Ventures in 2026.
