MSIV Founder Honored by NBLC
On Friday, May 12, 2023, the North Bay Leadership Council (NBLC) presented MSIV Founder Zachary Kushel with its Leaders of the North Bay award at its annual luncheon in Rohnert Park.
This prestigious award, named The “Light Bulb” Went On for Innovative & Entrepreneurial Spirit, was presented to Zach for being “relentless in bringing community together both to raise capital but also to honestly build a durable community of internal investment and support” for startups in our North Bay Region.
The NBLC is an employer-led advocacy organization providing leadership in ways to make the North Bay sustainable, prosperous and innovative. Today, the Council includes over 50 select employers in the region, and its members represent a wide variety of businesses, non-profits and educational institutions, with a workforce in excess of 25,000.

For the ceremony, the NBLC created a five-minute video tribute to Zach highlighting MSIV’s work bringing together the North Bay’s startup community:
The North Bay Leadership Council surprised Zach with official commendations from the North Bay’s representatives in the U.S. House, California State Senate, and California State Assembly, as well as from the County of Marin.
MSIV wishes to thank NBLC President/CEO Cynthia Murray, the day’s other award receipients, and Visual Story Media’s Alan Fitch for telling MSIV’s story so eloquently in the tribute video.
