Bryan’s current work.
Bryan’s current work is organized through a focused group of institutions spanning strategic counsel, principal investment, research, public analysis, and charitable service.
Twenty Three
Point Five
Strategic counsel for leaders, owners, and investors.
Twenty Three Point Five is Bryan’s advisory firm, working with leaders, owners, investors, and founders on questions of strategy, capital, markets, transactions, transformation, and institutional performance — the decisions that determine enterprise value.
Engagements are structured around the decision to be made, the work required, and the outcome the organization needs.
Kaus Capital
& Australis™
Principal investment and proprietary research grounded in operating knowledge.
Kaus Capital is Bryan’s principal investment, research, and business-building platform. Its work sits inside real-economy markets where physical assets, market structure, capital cycles, policy, and execution materially shape outcomes.
Australis brings together company filings, valuation, cycle and balance-sheet analysis, market intelligence, physical-asset mapping, and leadership research in one operator-investor system. It is designed to organize information around judgment rather than volume.
The Point
Taken
Essays and analysis on markets, companies, institutions, and leadership.
Bryan’s publication for essays and analysis on energy, industrial markets, capital allocation, business history, institutions, and leadership — writing that finds the system underneath the headlines.
Charitable service, published work, and venture building.
