Hey! I'm Jack
Building the Future.
A dynamic entrepreneur, dreamer, and technologist known for pioneering the first PayPal to Ethereum exchange.
What drives me?
After I dropped out (getting cut off from my parents), I was propelled by a passion for innovation and a vision for a greater world, knowing I could make a massive impact if I stayed true to that mission.
This bold decision marked the beginning of an extraordinary career in technology and philanthropy.
I am currently acting as the CEO of Persist Ventures and President of Systemic Altruism. My expertise is within 1st principles thinking, growth hacking, and leading leaders.
My long-term goal is to create the most efficient and effective charity in the world.
My Journey
During my senior year of high school, I was chosen as the Scholar Athlete of The Year, and I received the All Decade Defensive-End award while playing Varsity Football.
I scored perfect Math and Science ACT Scores, placing in 99.9% for the US. After enrolling at the University of Arizona, I built the first automated PayPal to Ethereum platform.
As I blasted open my perspective of my future that would come from consistent, efficient effort, I saw forward on the timeline of success.
I searched the world for a community with the same passion and found nothing. This led me to create what my younger self needed most—a community that made sense in the grand possibilities of the universe.
My Ventures
My entrepreneurial journey is highlighted by a series of successful ventures and innovations that have shaped various industries.
Establishing and exiting a consumer product manufacturing company
Founding and exiting a storage and fulfillment company
Launching a creator house in Los Angeles, featuring members from Hype House and Disney Channel
Contributing to the meteoric rise of Pudgy Penguins
Consulting and marketing for renowned brands such as You.com, Sunrise Brands, Society Brands, and Brooke Burke Body
Continued Mission
"I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke up and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is a joy."
Today, my journey is about more than personal success; it's a quest for a meaningful impact on the world. I am motivated by the belief that true satisfaction comes from service and contribution to a greater good.
The idea of strengthening local communities with an AI super-connector is a great systemic solution to the loneliness and lack of community we have today.
Christine Peterson has since joined as our Chief Strategy Officer, bringing decades of experience from Foresight Institute to help realize our vision.
