Angel Investments & Advisor

I am currently an active investor and/or advisor in the following organizations:

illuminatebaylights

ILLUMINATE is a non-profit whose mission is to rally large groups of people together to create impossible works of public art that, through awe, free humanity’s better nature.

ILLUMINATE’s flagship project is The Bay Lights, one of the largest pieces of public art in history. Conceived and permitted originally as a two-year installation, the original artwork shone nightly from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge from March 5, 2013, to March 5, 2015. ILLUMINATE successfully led the effort to return The Bay Lights as a permanent installation, gifted to the State of California, on January 30, 2016.

ILLUMINATE is currently pursuing multiple projects that inspire awe and wonder and we invite your participation. One of our latest projects is a two-mile long work of public art by San Francisco artists George Zisiadis and Stefano Corazza on Market Street that brilliantly reflects over your head the real-time movement of BART and Muni trains beneath your feet on Market Street called LightRail. Learn more here: https://lightrail.org/#/lightRail

By the way, did you know that you can dedicate a light on the Bay Bridge for just $100 (tax deductible)? Check it out here. Check out Jason’s dedication to me, and my dedication to him.

They are mentored by our network of visionary thinkers, investors, scientists, and entrepreneurs, who provide guidance and business connections that can’t be replicated in any classroom.
