SPOTLIGHT:
Program + Commercialization Partner

“When I was first introduced to AJ, he was described to me as a change maker. These past 3 years have shown me the true meaning of this, as I have watched 548 actively seek emerging contractors, developers, and companies, leading to their mutual growth and success. AJ is a visionary, and he brings everyone up around him – his partners and communities alike. - Rachel Vass, CEO, Syzygy Cities
