Howard Stein

Howard S. Stein serves as the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees at Pratt Institute, the private art, design, and architecture institution in Brooklyn, New York. In that role he holds a fiduciary and financial-oversight position among the school's governing trustees. The contact details in the source record ([hidden] and the +1 718-636-3600 number) correspond to Pratt Institute, consistent with his trustee role rather than an independent investment firm.

Professionally, Stein is identified in Pratt's official trustee listings as a retired Managing Director of Citigroup, reflecting a career in institutional financial services rather than in venture capital or startup angel investing. Pratt's Board of Trustees and course-catalog governance pages both list him with the single professional descriptor "Managing Director, Citigroup, Retired."

Important accuracy note: The stub data provided characterized Howard Stein as an "Angel Investor" focused on "Seed Round" deals. Public, primary sources (Pratt Institute's own board pages) do not support that characterization — they describe a retired Citigroup executive and current nonprofit board treasurer. There are several other well-known people named Howard Stein (including the late Dreyfus Corp. chairman Howard M. Stein, 1926–2011, and various financiers), and investor-database aggregators frequently conflate similarly named individuals. Treat any "angel/seed" attribution below as unverified.

• No verifiable public angel or venture investment thesis, stated check size, or sector focus could be found for this Howard S. Stein.
• His verifiable financial role is institutional: Treasurer of Pratt Institute's Board of Trustees and a retired Citigroup Managing Director — a background in banking/financial services, not documented early-stage startup investing.
• The "Seed Round / Angel Investor" designation in the source record appears to be an aggregator artifact and should not be relied upon without direct confirmation.
