    Frank Song

    Private Equity Investor and Entrepreneur

    Frank Song, a notable Equity Investor and entrepreneurial trailblazer, resides in Fremont, California. His professional endeavors extend beyond the business realm as he has served as a Senior Diplomatic Advisor to the United Nations, providing essential strategic advice on international relations and participating in the General Assembly. His rise from the depths of homelessness to establishing a global multi-million dollar investment company exemplifies his extraordinary career progression.

    In his formative years, Song faced severe homelessness and struggled with food insecurity, yet he remained determined to further his education and fund his tuition at the University of California. During his college years, he initiated a real estate business, which, through his relentless commitment to academics and entrepreneurship, yielded a substantial profit of $10 million from distressed property sales within four years.

    His knack for identifying overlooked market opportunities led him from success in real estate to the challenging arenas of equity investments and venture capital. Before reaching his mid-twenties, Song had already obtained his Series 7 Stockbroker License and California Life and Disability Insurance License. He manages $500 million in committed capital, focusing on buyouts and forming partnerships with profitable niche market businesses.

    From his humble beginnings facing financial adversity and homelessness, Frank Song has emerged as the founder of an international business conglomerate valued in the eight figures. He attributes much of his business acumen to the mastery of emotional control, which he views as crucial for making sound decisions and navigating the entrepreneurial landscape.

    Opting for a nontraditional path to success, Song acquired critical financial licenses by age 19, funding his education and laying the foundation for his future financial ventures. His strategic investments in real estate allowed him to build and manage a $10 million fund, demonstrating his ability to generate substantial value from limited resources.

    Private Equity Investor

    Song's approach as a private equity investor involves rigorous evaluation of potential investments, assessing the risks and rewards while considering the immediate and future implications. He has managed over $1 billion in transactions, specializing in leveraged buyouts and growth equity, aiming to make more profitable than unprofitable investments.

    His investment acumen has not only been lucrative but has also contributed to creating over 1,000 jobs. He manages a significant private equity portfolio and has been acknowledged three times by Inc. 5000 as leading one of the "Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America." His expertise has also been highlighted through interviews with notable figures and appearances on popular podcasts like “Action & Ambition” and “Invest Like a Boss.”

    Senior US Diplomatic Advisor

    Holding the prestigious position of Senior Diplomatic Advisor to the United Nations with Permanent Observer status, he offers invaluable strategic insights at UN meetings. This role gives him unique access to high-level discussions and secure government locations, reinforcing his influence in business and global diplomacy.

    Financial Industry Thought-leader

    Frank Song has successfully bootstrapped a company to a $100 million valuation and played a pivotal role in significantly increasing the revenues of various startups, including prominent companies such as HighJump and Zinc Ahead. He leads a global team spanning America and Europe, dedicated to nurturing a legacy of positive change and inspiring the next generation of leaders.

    Recognized consistently as a top lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley Alumni Association, Song has been featured in a Forbes article titled “From Walmart to Wall Street: his Eight-Figure Business Journey.” His philanthropic efforts are widespread, focusing on global unity and supporting disadvantaged groups such as refugees, animals, and orphans, particularly in Ukraine.
