OUR STORY

SJS Beacon was founded in 2013 to identify, and invest in, growing areas of the United States. Most of these investments are in the energy and real estate sectors, although the company may pursue investments in other sectors that have strong fundamentals in their favor. The company was founded by Jason Hochberg. Mr. Hochberg is an entrepreneur at heart and he believes in active management and financial discipline. Most of his business experience comes from the 15 years he spent at the leading firm in the power and energy industry, LS Power Development, LLC. Leaving a terrific firm such as LS Power was one of the most difficult decisions Mr. Hochberg had to make, however, he wanted the opportunity to start his own company from the ground up. The company is named after his three children, Sophie, Jordan and Sabrina, hence SJS.
