Entrepreneur, Investor, and Advocate for Neurodiversity in Business
Oliver Bruce
Oliver Bruce is the founder, podcaster, investor, and CEO of PinPoint Media, a tech-driven content marketing agency. His entrepreneurial journey started early, fuelled by the need to go against the grain at school. Growing up as a military kid meant moving around the world often, and combined with his ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia, traditional education was never a good fit. College, he says, was where his real learning began, while school felt too "formulaic."
​
By the time he was 30, Oliver had built two multimillion-pound businesses. One of these secured—and then lost—a £12 million deal with Amazon just weeks after launch. He calls this his most expensive and valuable MBA, learning through trial and error. For Oliver, success is personal, but his drive to build something meaningful and impactful is constant.
​
Oliver’s entrepreneurial achievements have earned him numerous accolades, highlighting his success and impact in the business world. He was named one of the Times and LDC’s Top 50 Entrepreneurs in the UK and was also recognized as the Institute of Directors' (IoD) Young Director of the Year. These awards reflect his ability to innovate, lead, and create lasting value across a range of industries, cementing his reputation as a trailblazer in the entrepreneurial community.
​
Over the years, Oliver has become deeply involved in the startup and scale-up world, actively investing in and supporting innovative ventures. His portfolio includes early-stage businesses such as Mixtons, Stamp, and THETA, as well as major industry leaders like OpenAI and SpaceX. Oliver’s commitment to fostering groundbreaking ideas and driving growth is evident in his hands-on approach and mentorship work with the Prince’s Trust, where he helps guide and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
​
Oliver is passionate about making education more inclusive for all learning styles and backgrounds. In 2023, he was invited to open SGS Create, a centre designed for 14-16-year-olds who struggle with traditional academic paths, helping them explore creative careers. This was particularly significant to Oliver as a former student of SGS, then called Stroud College.
​
To help other entrepreneurs, whether neurotypical or neurodiverse, Oliver created the PMF (Positive, Motivated, Focused) framework, designed to make productivity more inclusive.
He also hosts Success Is In The Mind, a podcast where he chats openly with founders about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. The podcast’s real, relatable stories have made it a hit, ranking in the top 5% of business podcasts globally and featuring as a mainstay on Virgin Atlantic’s in-flight entertainment.
