Why We're Building This

It started with a question every parent asks.

What do you want to be, when you grow up?

OUR MISSION

Founded on the belief that we are called to serve others, DREAMSTREAM exists to ensure every child, regardless of where they come from or what their family can afford, has the guidance, tools, and opportunities to turn their dreams into a real path forward.

OUR VISION

A world where no child's future is determined by their zip code, their school, or their family's financial situation. Where every family has what they need to help their child navigate the journey from curiosity to career with clarity and confidence.

Arthur Olvesen

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

A seasoned leader from Fortune 100 firms like JPMorgan Chase and American Express, Arthur set out to solve a problem he first encountered as a father – how to turn his daughter's dreams into a real plan. He brought with him decades of experience safeguarding people's hard-earned money through risk management and compliance, giving him a unique lens on what it takes to protect a family's most important investment: their children's future.

Dr. Sheila M. Thomas

Co-Founder and Chief Academic Officer

After 28 years at Harvard – conducting pioneering cancer research, designing academic programs in fields like AI and quantum sciences, and mentoring thousands of students as both faculty and Dean – Dr. Thomas is on a mission to ensure that every student, regardless of their zip code or background, has access to the same quality of guidance once reserved for the most privileged.
