Our Team

Michael Dodson - Founder

Michael started BURNOUT. He runs the core team, selects the missions we take on, and assembles the teams that deliver them.

TEAM

BURNOUT is a venture syndicate, not a traditional firm.

Around the core team is the syndicate: a network of operators, strategists, creators, and builders who join specific missions.

We recruit Originals. People with strong judgment who think for themselves and take responsibility for outcomes.

They come from different disciplines and have done real work in the world. Some are independent builders. Some were laid off from companies that mistook talent for cost. Others simply chose a different path.

When they join a mission, they work in small teams built for one clear outcome.

When the work is done, the team disbands and the syndicate reforms for the next mission.

The model is simple.

Small teams.
Clear goals.
Real accountability.

One rule sits above everything else:

No outcome, no invoice.
