Steven Schneider

Steven Schneider founded Homes 4 the Homeless a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 2018 when his house was burned down in the Sonoma wildfires. Armed with a new appreciation of what it was like to lose a home, Steve embarked on a mission to help others left in similar positions. Schneider has a unique ability to identify emerging markets and disruptive technologies to create successful mergers and acquisitions. For ZAP in 2011 he completed a 51 percent acquisition of Jonway Automobile, the first time in history that a foreign company purchased a controlling interest in a Chinese Automobile Manufacturing Plant. In 2012 he completed the acquisition of the Aptera Electric Car for Jonway Group. He acquired a majority stake in Detroit Electric, which was the most famous electric car in history during the early 1900s.
