Steven puts his vast experience to work in leading Seismic as it seeks to uncover the world's next unicorns. Throughout his career, Steven has been at the forefront of technological innovation and process improvement. The CEO of Seismic led the teams that put real-time information into formally static apps, started artificial intelligence processing in the creation of news stories, and developed the first hypertext links into news articles. These innovations lead to practices that we consider customary today. He started and led a messaging company before mass marketing by email, SMS, and other electronic means became popular. He has raised significant capital for ventures from technology, to real estate, to litigation.

After spending years as an investment banker with billions of dollars of successful transactions for prominent firms, Eric puts his expertise to work at Seismic as he leads the investment team and advisory board seeking innovative megatrends and the companies he believes can participate in them, aiming for tremendous growth and profits for our shareholders. His experience includes being a founder of a hugely successful Silicon Valley tech company, an advisor to venture capital and private equity firms, and leading a Washington, DC public affairs and advisory firm focused on technology, gaming, media, communications, transportation, banking and small business.

Alice’s talents and experience are leveraged by Seismic’s investment committee and her skills will be put to use by its portfolio companies. Alice manages the internal and external procedures of Seismic. Building on her previous experience on behalf of lenders such as JPMorgan Chase, where she stepped into executive management of distressed clients, she has seen companies develop problems and pitfalls to avoid. Those experiences provide a deep understanding into how start-ups can succeed. Her operational and regulatory compliance oversight is foundational to her work with Seismic. She oversees the Cap Table with Seismic's transfer agent, coordinates accounting books and records with the company's CPA firm, and manages compliance with Seismic's auditor and regulatory filings with the SEC. She also handles banking, IRA and broker- dealer relationships. She will be overseeing the integration of Seismic's portfolio companies as they are brought into the fold, providing accounting, HR, and other “non-core” services so those firms can focus their efforts squarely on building products and growing revenue.
