About Donato Callahan:

Donato grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa where he graduated as high-school Valedictorian before attending Boise State University for Biology where he was one of three biology majors in the country awarded the prestigious Department of Defense (DoD) SMART Scholarship. This led to internships in Washington, D.C. and the time freedom to spend a field semester in western Montana and volunteer for a month on a South African wildlife reserve. After returning to the states, he founded a real estate wholesaling company before quickly transitioning to bigger projects; including purchasing a four family house-hack in St. Louis and helping to establish a commercial multifamily syndication company with over 172 units and $15M in acquisitions in their first 18 months. Not to leave opportunity on the table, Donato connected with his now co-founder Drew McCluskey to create BrightInvestor - a platform that helps people invest anywhere with confidence by making real estate market research simple. Today, Donato works full time for the Department of Defense while continuing to syndicate large apartment complexes and leading BrightInvestor to its late March 2023 launch date.
