My perspective concerning the TransitNet market opportunity, and the TransitNet enterprise itself, is informed by my role over the last eight years as an advisor to and investor in CapLinked – TransitNet’s sponsor – which incubated the company.

Briefly, reasons why I am investing in TransitNet:

1. TransitNet is led by a proven management duo: Eric Jackson and Chris Gray.

2. TransitNet is supported by the systems/knowledge/expertise/network/team of CapLinked, a highly successful fintech enterprise that has developed a great value proposition: virtual deal room to support major financial transactions.

3. CapLinked is backed by savvy, very successful investors, including the PayPal mafia and, most specifically, Peter Thiel, one of the most successful tech entrepreneurs, investors, and visionaries He was the CEO of PayPal, which was sold to eBay and an early investor and board member of Meta.

4. TransitNet has the potential to be an extraordinarily valuable enterprise and a major fintech player, possibly joining the extraordinary companies whose brilliant business models and effective execution command billion dollar valuations and offer a rewarding return to those who invest now.","company":"TransitNet","date":"2022-06-30T15:05:49.411Z","url":"/transitnet","logo":"//uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/70613/medium_cropped_TRANSITNET__1_.png"},{"personalMessage":"I am investing $50,000 in Parknav this round for eight reasons: 1) BIG IDEA - Finding parking is one of a number of major, big revenue applications of the Parknav Ai-enabled intellectual property that makes cities and places smarter. 2) PROPRIETARY PATENTED Ai TECHNOLOGY - this is the foundation for pragmatic, highly innovative award-winning applications of research and technology innovations, and Parknav CEO Eyal Amir is one of the world's preeminent Ai authorities. 3) MASSIVE MARKET: The $1 trillion Smart City Market that Parknav serves is growing at accelerating rates and shall exceed $3 trillion by 2026. 4) POWERFUL BUSINESS MODEL: COMPELLING VALUE PROPOSITION: Parknav make streets/neighborhoods/cities/public and private places come alive for you, by providing personalized/customized/real time information/guidance/data to enable smart place experiences/commerce/mobility for individuals/enterprises/governments.
