Bruce Forgrieve

Co-Founder

Bruce is a Silicon Valley veteran and refugee who created six tech startups before it was cool. He has a background in finance, business development, and creating scalable businesses.

After leaving the venture backed startup world, Bruce took his tech skills to Africa and created Shout-It-Now from a blank piece of paper. This NGO educates, tests, and provides treatment for people dealing with HIV. He retired from Shout in 2022, leaving a legacy of 700 employees and $79 million in funding.

Bruce’s curiosity began in high school with texts like “I’m OK – You’re OK” and “Born to Win.” His mother was never sure if Bruce’s first word was “no” or “why?”.
