Profile

Jason Eichenholz is a serial entrepreneur, executive, philanthropist, and recognized pioneer in laser and optics enabled innovation, product development and commercialization. Over the past two decades he has started and founded multiple companies that raised over a billion dollars of investor funding and took Luminar public on Nasdaq. Eichenholz is the current CEO and founder of Relativity Networks, which is commercializing patent-pending HCF technology.

Eichenholz has led the development of hundreds of millions of dollars of revolutionary products and companies that have enabled a variety of applications from autonomous vehicles, battlefield explosives detection, early cancer detection, new drug delivery systems and environmental studies from the depths of the oceans to the top of Mt. Everest and even on the Moon and Mars.

Eichenholz holds more than 90 U.S. patents, is a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, and Optica, the society advancing optics and photonics worldwide. He is a member of Florida Inventors Hall of Fame and the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida.

Eichenholz has an M.S. and Ph.D in Optical Science and Engineering from CREOL – The College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida, and a B.S. in Physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

An accomplished public speaker, he has given dozens of plenary and invited talks at major automotive and photonics conferences and universities as well as the commencement address at the University of Central Florida.

When he’s not reshaping industries, Jason dedicates himself to serving others — both as a volunteer firefighter and EMT, and through his greatest passion: the Jonathan's Landing Foundation, a non-profit creating a comprehensive community for adults across the autism spectrum. The Foundation develops housing and employment solutions that provide dignity and purpose while giving parents peace of mind about their children’s safety and happiness.
