Mead Treadwell on Technology

 

 


Made millions from high-tech camera on Google Street View

Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell appears to land on top of the four major candidates for Senate when it comes to reported personal wealth. His assets ranged from $3.4 million to $7.7 million. Meanwhile, his debt ranges from $580,000 to $1.2 million.

Two of Treadwell's biggest assets are a rental property in Anchorage and his home in Anchorage, each valued between $500,000 and $1 million. Treadwell, who calls himself a high-tech entrepreneur and says he launched the company that introduced the camera used by Google Street View, also has a large stake in the stock market.

Treadwell reported earning $99,000 as the state's lieutenant governor in 2012. He also earned deferred income of about $45,000 from Venture Ad Astra, a company specializing in location and imaging technology he founded in Anchorage.

He reported having between $500,000 and $1 million in a Morgan Stanley money market account, as well as the same amount in a Wells Fargo savings account.

Entrepreneur for digital watermarks & Google Streetview

Prior to running for office, Mead Treadwell built a successful business career as a high technology entrepreneur who helped start companies that compete in today's global marketplace. One of them developed the digital watermarking system that helps protect world currencies and DVDs from counterfeiting. Another introduced the high tech camera that launched Google's Streetview, MapQuest's 360 View, and was used by our U.S. military's street level mapping programs in Afghanistan and Iraq.
