Adding a new capability to my tool belt. Tax equity is so murky and it helps to have experts at your side.

Spring Free EV is a financial technology company built to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) through innovative fintech products. We have the bold mission to reduce CO2 emissions by one gigaton by 2030 through a new vehicle financing approach that makes EVs more accessible to everyone.

Spring Ventures is a platform for my investments.

Sidecar was the pioneer and inventor of ridesharing as well as many other innovation in the category. We grew to ten cities, gave millions of rides, and sold assets to General Motors in January of 2016.

I co-founded Gigaton Awards with Sir Richard Branson and the co-founders of the Carbon War Room. They were designed to recognize the companies that accomplished the most to reduce greenhouse gases around the world. Recipients included 3M, Nike, Suntech, and Suzalon.

A large collaboration between academic and industry leaders in climate to understand the path to scale up solutions to climate. The Gigaton Throwdown was a project to encourage entrepreneurs, investors and policy makers to plan to grow companies to a scale that they stabilize the climate. The Gigaton Throwdown study evaluated a portfolio of cleantech pathways that could address climate change, energy security, and economic development. We specifically looked for paths to avoid 1 gigaton of CO2e per year for each pathway by the year 2020. That framework was used by parts of DOE and the Carbon War Room as a framework for prioritizing their efforts.

CEN was a channel and voice of the emerging clean economy in policy circles. We had almost 20 chapters and active regions and over 10,000 members in all 50 states.

PCV is one of the nation's leading community development organizations. It fosters the growth of businesses in developing communities in California.

Singularity University aims to educate the next generation of leaders to leverage the accelerating pace of technology while being aware of its consequences. While there, I helped incubate the peer-to-peer company, Getaround.

CT4O was a constituency organization of the Obama campaign. We successfully engaged thousands of cleantech leaders and professionals, raised $1.6M, fielded battelground teams in 13 states, held over 200 national house parties in all 50 states, and recruited hundreds of volunteers to help with GOTV efforts.

CCS is the largest non-profit car sharing organization in the US and the second largest after Zipcar. I was an advisor to them from their founding and joined their board for a few years. We successfully focused the organization on financial sustainability during my tenure.

I believe citizens should be empowered to engage with government and politicians. iCanvas.org was our effort to experiment with new models of engagement via the internet. We were successful in building a novel method of email distribution and engaged in computerized phone banking, which was a new capability in 2004.

Brightmail was the leading anti-spam company and email cybersecurity that served large companies and ISPs. We sold to Symantec for $370M after filing an S-1 to go public. The company's technology was based on a key patent been subsequently sited by over 500 patents.

Back in the dawn of the internet era, I had the itch to be an entrepreneur. I left $1M of unvested stock on the table and started FreeLoader with Mark Pincus. We sold it for $38M just five months later. Crazy, right? It was just the sign of what was to come in the internet world.

I joined AOL as the first Internet product manager when they were 300 people (50% customer support), less than $100M revenue, and very limited internet features. I was responsible for all the internet products including Newsgroups, Web, FTP, the "Internet Channel" (yes, it really was called that); and helped guide AOL's internet strategy.

I was curious about the role of Congress in making technology policy after my experiences on Space Station. I sought a job on the Hill to get some deeper understanding of how the place worked. OTA was filled with a diverse, talented group of people looking at all manner of technology policy. It was like being in grad school, but with a product that might actually be read by someone who could effect a change.In 1991 that explored the emerging areas of nanotechnology and MEMS as well as other "Miniaturization Technologies." In my spare time I helped the agency figure out this new thing called the internet.

Worked on information system design of NASA's Space Station Freedom. It was exciting to be part of the space program.

Operations at NASA Goddard Flight Dynamics Facility... supported the systems that told spacecraft where they were and where they should go.
