Going Public Season 3

Think Shark Tank, but viewers can invest in the featured companies while they watch.

The story

Wall Street left everyday investors behind.

I’ve spent my career bringing them into private markets. First with marketing, then with regulated technology, and now with interactive TV.

I spent ten years selling enterprise software to the Fortune 500. When Reg A+ took effect in 2015, I saw a door opening and went all in. I have been building toward the same goal ever since.

Then I asked a bigger question: how do we bring the highest quality investments to anyone, anywhere? The answer was a massively mainstream interactive show. That became Going Public, the first show of its kind.

13 years sober

Quitting drinking was the best decision I’ve made, personally and professionally. Every hour it gave back went into building.

Off the clock

I’m into health and wellness and enjoy hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains. Former CA state champion high jumper.

What I’m building

Two companies. One mission.

Hollywood built its industry monetizing attention. We’re building what comes next: participation. Crush Capital makes the shows. Issuance lets viewers invest in what they see.
