At Urban Catalyst, we’re lucky to have hundreds of investors who are aligned with our vision to revitalize downtown San Jose.
We launched a new series called Investor Spotlight on our Blog this year so that featured investors can share their experience and tell us why they chose to invest with the Urban Catalyst Opportunity Fund.
Here’s a roundup of the key takeaways and guidance from our featured investors:
- Meet Steve Schneider, a retired Silicon Valley CEO and angel investor who was impressed with the diversification and location of Urban Catalyst projects from day one. Steve invested in the Urban Catalyst Opportunity Zone Fund with his capital gain from a previous business venture.
- Meet Claire, a California resident whose capital gains event was the sale of real estate. She values keeping investments right here at home – an important factor in her choosing our Opportunity Zone Fund for an inherited property.
- Meet Steve and Shelley Lizanich, long-time real estate investors from Southern California who came to Urban Catalyst in 2019 seeking an alternative to a 1031 exchange. The Lizanichs came to Urban Catalyst seeking an alternative to a 1031 exchange.
- Meet Dan Bozzuto, a renowned insurance broker and Silicon Valley investor who chose Urban Catalyst after he sold a business because he always envisioned a vibrant downtown San Jose.
- Meet Marcel B., an engineering manager for one of the biggest tech companies in Silicon Valley who can’t wait to see our Fountain Alley Building rooftop bar come to life! His capital gains event was the sale of stock.
- Meet Ed M., a long-time real estate investor in Silicon Valley and a tech executive with multiple investments in the Urban Catalyst Opportunity Zone Fund after he sold stock.
