StreetSmart Feasibility Study 2023-2024 Blackstone LaunchPad first Place Social and Climate Impact Award Winner

• Developed StreetSmart: an application built to manage and reinvest all assets from the global homeless population.
• Presented StreetSmart in-person to Blackstone in Miami, FL, and Blackstone Charitable Foundation in New York City, NY.
• Working at Citigroup, I managed a multi-billion-dollar Sovereign Wealth Fund Portfolio (in GBP, EUR, CAD, and JPY) for Blackstone Alternative Asset Management (BAAM), my goal from this was to compete at Blackstone LaunchPad successfully.
• I believe Blackstone should shift gears and implement assets into the StreetSmart tax-deferred asset management interface I developed, backed by investments made to empower the homeless and underprivileged. By investing in the lowest market, we aim to equip the impoverished with mobile devices, real estate, and jobs, including improved health monitoring through corporate sponsors.
• This shift envisions a world where server-less systems facilitate essential needs, leaving complex tasks to computers.
• StreetSmart is used globally for impoverished and homeless people to manage and utilize their assets without being stolen or destroyed.
• Winning Blackstone LaunchPad is the result of my year-long experience creating StreetSmart at Goldman Sachs as a Product Owner under Adrian Jones, Chairman of Global Equity, and over 5 years of developing TheXDesk, a crypto trading platform utilizing my CNXT Technologies Wallet Management Platform, my “Clode” blockchain software, and a high-frequency trading app with transaction/trade processing speeds much faster than Citadel Securities.
• Developed with my two co-founders: Christopher Pardo, son of Robert Pardo, founder and developer of the first trading softwares: XT99, Swing Trader, and Renaissance Program, and Nicholas Bach, protégé of Robbie Bach, the former President of Microsoft.
• StreetSmart won 1st place in the Blackstone LaunchPad Social and Climate Impact Idea Challenge Competition.
• Received recognition from Vint Cerf, Founder of the Internet.
