Business Development & Partnerships
Find commercial opportunities, enter new markets, build relationships, and move good deals forward.
The future is human
Technology should move us forward, not further from ourselves.
RiseHuman is built on a simple belief: real progress starts with people.
RiseHuman
Progress starts with people.
Technology can change how we work. It can’t decide what matters.
Staying human isn’t standing still. It means paying attention to ourselves, to each other, and to what matters as the world changes. A clearer perspective can reveal an opportunity, a relationship, or a practical way forward that wasn’t visible before.
The person behind RiseHuman
Built from nothing.
Scaled past $1M.
Still building.
I’m Dylan Brown.
In 2015, I founded Tao Float Loft in Cincinnati and grew it into a seven-figure business with two locations, a team of 15, partnerships with professional sports organizations, and national exposure through ESPN and Fox Sports.
For nearly a decade, I was responsible for making it work: building the business, leading people, developing relationships, solving problems, taking risks, and finding a way forward when there wasn’t an obvious answer.
That experience shaped how I approach everything today.
Since then, my work has expanded into business development, AI, automation, and solutions architecture—finding opportunities, connecting people, and building systems that solve real problems.
But technology has never been the point. The human element is what makes any of it matter. That’s where RiseHuman comes from.
I believe a different perspective can change the direction of something entirely. Sometimes the answer is a new strategy. Sometimes it’s a system, a relationship, or an opportunity nobody has connected yet.
I don’t believe in handing someone a plan and disappearing. When there’s something worth pursuing, I want to be involved in making it happen.

How I work
Different problems need
different kinds of help.
Strategy & Solutions Architecture
Get underneath complex problems, see what’s missing, and shape a practical way to solve them.
Systems & Technology
Bring together AI, automation, software, and the right technical partners to make a business more capable.
The right way to work together becomes clear in conversation.
Good things start with a conversation.
Let’s talk.
Tell me what you’re working on, what’s getting in the way, or what you’re trying to figure out. We’ll start there.
