Block's journey into BrainTap is not merely a corporate endeavor; it defines a lifetime dedicated to innovation and improving the human condition. As Co-CEO, alongside founder Dr. Patrick Porter, Mr. Block will help compose a new future for BrainTap — blending technological genius, human understanding, and an unwavering commitment to brain and body wellness.

With over four decades of experience in the music and entertainment industry, Mr. Block's entrepreneurial influence spans far beyond record company walls.

He is renowned for establishing worldwide fan bases for two iconic bands of the 90s, G. Love & Special Sauce and the Fun Lovin' Criminals. Block also managed the careers of James Brown's horn section and funk music legends, Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis; and subsequently, consulted Polygram Records on the multi-platinum selling James Brown, Box Set, "Star Time".

Major Sound Studios, Block's legendary recording studios based in both Los Angeles and New York City, became havens where musical harmonies were captured and hit songs were born. Major Hana Records, Mr. Block's Hawaiian based record label, has released recordings of iconic Maui, Hawai'i artists including Kaleo Kaina and Uncle Boy Kanae. Over time, Block expanded his interests into music video, television and film production, using music as a tool to shape narratives and create immersive experiences.

Twenty years ago, driven by an insatiable curiosity to discern how much cell phones could impact society, Mr. Block ventured into the mobile ecosystem where he harnessed his ingenuity to revolutionize digital marketing and merchandising. His work has helped transform how people interact with information and one another. This was just the beginning of his journey towards innovation.

Ten years ago, Jonathan relocated to Silicon Valley to focus on startups that help improve lives and preserve our planet's well-being. Early on in his Bay Area tenure, Mr. Block played an integral role in Meta's 2016 acquisition of Eyegroove, a social platform offering content creators augmented reality lenses and filters to create new experiences, share and connect. The Eyegroove technology is currently being used by Facebook and Instagram's three billion-strong user base.

BrainTap recognized Jonathan's unparalleled expertise in entertainment, technology and startups. Moreover, Mr. Block brings a dynamic global lens through his work with India-based Venture Catalysts, and Colombia, South America based UpView Ventures, each among the largest and fastest growing accelerators in the world.
