Nav.it is a platform for financial health as a service. Using techniques in behavioral science, behavioral economics, and AI-driven technology, Nav.it helps millennials learn about finances, organize and manage money, and connect to a community that talks about what wealth means. As a member of the advisory board, I support Nav.it’s efforts to engage new strategic partners and users at scale.
Republic unlocks capital to support founders that are defining the future of innovation. We launch equity-based crowdfunding campaigns that help founders get outside the Silicon Valley bubble and raise from the people.

Culture Shifting Foundation brings together Black and Latinx fund managers with the capital allocators that shape the system through Culture Shifting Weekends. These bi-annual conferences break down the social network barriers that keep these fund managers from the capital they need. To date, we’ve helped them raise over $500 million. As a member of the Board, I work to support the development of new strategies and initiatives that Culture Shifting Foundation can use to build Black economic equity.
