About
About George Bregman.
I’m an operator first, analyst second, advisor third. Twenty years across AI, machine learning, data, and the editorial systems they live inside. Today I’m based in the UK - between London and Cambridge - running AI Disraeli, architecting an integrated AI-media-venture ecosystem, giving pre-deal second opinions to London private capital, and mentoring the founders who do the actual building. The work I do today comes from the work I did yesterday - that’s the only credential that matters.
The arc
From MBA admissions to AI operating.
MBA Admissions
Started consulting on MBA admissions for high-potential candidates targeting top US, UK, and European programmes. The practice has run continuously for 25+ years under the IMBA brand.
Marketing, PR, and early tech founding
Led marketing and PR at increasing scale. Founded and co-founded multiple ventures, including companies with $1M+ revenue. Built the operator instincts that later became the foundation for AI work.
Skolkovo mentor
Joined Skolkovo Innovation Centre as a verified mentor. Logged 1,000+ founder sessions across AI, fintech, deep tech, and education. Long-standing engagement with Robotolab as AI/robotics mentor. AI Disraeli won a Skolkovo pre-accelerator programme.
International technology recognition
Won Vivatech Startup Nation (Paris). Won the Start-up Showcase at World Summit AI Americas 2023 in Montréal. Multiple Skolkovo hackathon wins. Began convening online NLP and LLM sessions around the OpenTalks.AI forum.
UK base and ecosystem architecture
Moved to the United Kingdom. Founded AI Disraeli for UK enterprise AI work. Took the role of COO/CTO at HOLZ Robotics Ltd. Founded BGTC - the British Global Talent Council. Acquired and rebuilt creativitys.uk into a UK contemporary culture publication. Architected a high-density AI event (online spin-off of OpenTalks.AI) featuring researchers from the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
Venture Analyst for London private capital
Began giving pre-deal second opinions on AI companies to London private VC firms (under NDA). Provided personal advisory to senior managers at firms including Baring Capital and Susten. Pursuing dual executive MBA to formalise strategic and financial foundations alongside operating work.
