Walter Cruttenden

Advisory Board Member

Walter Cruttenden is a financial markets innovator, serial entrepreneur, active investor in private and public emerging growth companies – and passionate about history and astronomy.

In his early career, Cruttenden founded and served as CEO of two well-known investment banking and brokerage firms; Cruttenden Roth (now Roth Capital, one of the largest underwriters of equity capital for emerging growth companies), and E*Offering, formerly the investment banking arm of E*Trade Securities. As CEO, Walter led the first to a $50+ million in revenues, and $10+ million in annual profits, and the second to $100 million+ in revenue run rate, which sold for $300+ million in 18 months from inception.

Walter also co-founded SRS Laboratories (NASDAQ: SRSL), after buying the nascent acoustic technology from Hughes, and developing it into an independent company focused on sound solutions. When he is not engaged in banking and technology, Walter serves as the Director of the Binary Research Institute in Newport Beach, California, where he researches the cause and consequences of solar system motion.

As part of his cosmological work Walter has authored many articles and other media including Ancient Cosmology: A Map of the Future (Noetic Sciences), the alternative history book Lost Star of Myth and Time, the award winning documentary film, The Great Year (narrated by James Earl Jones) and children’s book, The Great Year Adventures: with Tommy the Time-Traveling Turtle.

In his efforts to explore the subject of solar system motion and its concomitant cyclical effects Walter hosts the regular pod cast series, The Cosmic Influence, and organizes the annual Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge (CPAK), which features authors and scientists from around the world discussing the implications of celestial cycles on biology, archaeology, anthropology and related sciences.
