About

Our Legacy

Beginning in 1870, Mr. Trask embarked on a mission to improve the human condition. Trask’s search for like-minded entrepreneurs led to his early discovery of Thomas Edison’s vision to illuminate the world. Realizing the potential to not only transform day-to-day life but the world as they knew it, Mr. Trask joined Edison as an original trustee of the Edison Electric Light Company (now GE) and backed the invention of the world’s first light bulb. Catalyzing the dawn of the modern age, Mr. Trask became president of the first electric company, known as Consolidated Edison, and ignited even more transformational ideas throughout his life.

Illuminating the potential to change the world was the brilliance of Spencer Trask, which led to the transformation of the 20th century. Inspired by his tenacity to nurture and amplify big ideas at their earliest stage, we have built our ethos, methodology and values at the forefront of our life-changing work.
