My name is Brennen Byrne, I’m the CEO and co-founder of Clef. I’m a recent graduate of Pomona College who’s previously spent time working at Adobe and H.Bloom. I’m a long time mobile developer who has taken an interest in the ways our mobile devices can solve problems in fundamentally new and different ways. After seeing several internet giants (LinkedIn, Yahoo) lose their passwords to attackers, I became interested in online security. It quickly became obvious that the status quo was absurdly outdated and that a better solution existed by using our phones to do the heavy lifting. |

11 | ![]() CEO/Founder at Boombotix |
From the very start, I was fortunate enough to land an engineering position that incorporated technology with art and design. At DiCon Lighting, I pioneered a line of ultra high power fiberoptic illuminators used for ultra efficient architectural systems. I seized the opportunity to learn everything I could about product design. In my nights I would transform from engineer to artist working on a variety of mediums from sneakers, headphones, skate decks and toys. As fate would have it, my technical background was fused into my art which put me in position to launch BoomBotix mobile audio. My primary focus is around technologies that will enhance the user experience for mobile audio. Music is the most valuable social currency, and I plan to make sharing it simple and fun with technology. |
