Orlando Bravo, co-founder of Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm that oversees $17 billion in capital, boarded a plane with water purifiers and medical supplies Saturday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Bravo said he is putting $2 million to start and up to $8 million in the upcoming months to help recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Maria, which has devastated the island.
"If we can come from San Francisco, California, and in two days deliver what the mayors of two towns desperately need," Bravo told the Chronicle. "Then it can be done."
