The Shark believes that if you are going to think - think big! The chart here shows his big-thinking plan and projects he will build.

Our Proposed GridZero Resilience Innovation Park (GRIP)
GridZero is currently exploring a suitable site for its proposed GridZero Resilience Innovation Park (GRIP) our version of an integrated business park that will house all our companies. We have identified locations within Souther Nevada, Coastal California and Island of Maui, Hawaii, and hope to make a decision by March 1, 2026 so we can begin building our team in or near that location. It would be foolish to hire key team mates before knowing where we will base most of our operations.
GRIP will be built on an 80 to 100 acres land parcel, and become an entrepreneurial innovation campus & training center for the proposed mpact Fund business models and the related companies that we will operate directly
ClubZERO Rewards - Our Self-Funding Strategy
Initially GridZero will launch ClubZERO Rewards, the self-funding eco-system engine, integrated into a membership model our Founder developed to offset the need for traditional funding outside investors or other financial resources.
By design, ClubZERO monthly membership dues are allocated to help self-fund various projects and non-profit initiatives, including 25% through 2029 in the Impact Fund in exchange for 35% equity. Members receive monthly
BitZERO$ - the virtual club currency or reward credits - in amounts based on their membership level. They can use them to redeem for travel, and merchandise in the online store.
Members can also opt into our Partner Affiliate membership referral program to earn an added income monthly to help them meet their own financial challenges. ClubZERO is a win-win model designed to build businesses while rewarding members long-term. It redefines what it means to be part of a true entrepreneurial startup community.
Leadership and Vision
As the GridZero’s portfolio grows, The Shark plans to hire a dedicated President to oversee the daily operations while he remains CEO and drives the overall vision forward. This will allow him to focus on producing his reality web series, The AngelPreneur: Building The Dream in Real Time, that will showcase our companies. His series will share the real-world challenges and milestones behind launching real ventures and projects within Nevada, California and Hawaii.
Looking Ahead
2025 marks a critical year for GridZero—one filled with big plans, bold moves, restructuring and refining of projects with meaningful progress. We’re now actively preparing to build the management teams of our portfolio companies and ramp up to launch our companies by early 2026.
