Brandon Anderson is the Founder & CEO of Raheem AI, a startup funded by My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, now an initiative of the Obama Foundation. Raheem AI is committed to increasing police transparency, accountability, and building a world free of police violence.

Brandon is motivated by a desire to improve the quality of life for black & brown families and other victims of systemic discrimination. It was during his service in the U.S. Army as a satellite engineer that he began using technology as a problem-solving tool. Following the loss of his partner to police violence and realizing his own risk of victimization as a black man, Brandon recognized an opportunity to integrate his skills with his commitment to the pursuit of justice.

Anderson holds a BA in Sociology from Georgetown University, is a 2017 Halcyon Fellow, a Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award Nominee, and was named one of 100 Black LGBTQ Leaders to Watch by the National Black Justice Coalition.
