The man who spent 12 years storming Julius' Castle, a San Francisco icon
All Paul Scott needs is a chef.
The 59-year-old attorney owns Julius’ Castle, the three-story restaurant clinging to the side of Telegraph Hill that embodies old-time San Francisco: sourdough, stiff drinks, and stunning views. For 12 years, he’s been renovating the closed 102-year-old tourist attraction to make it once again a destination for celebrities, prom dates, and engagements. The only thing missing is culinary royalty to run the kitchen.
“It’s just been a challenge, but it’s going to be cool,” Scott said. “We’re very close now.”
When he acquired the landmark in 2012, he thought he’d have it up and running in time for the America’s Cup yachting competition the following year. But Scott is the first to admit that the phrase “It’ll open by year’s end” has become a refrain around the castle since then. He has faced more construction and legal obstacles than the average restaurateur.

‘Everyone is building’: Why foreign founders are crossing oceans for San Francisco
Saad advises companies from his home office, with its views of the San Francisco Bay and SoMa, itself a neighborhood in recovery.
He coaches entrepreneurs in Europe, Australia, and across the U.S. on how to adopt “Silicon Valley thinking” in scaling their businesses. That means encouraging clients to visit, if not move to, the Bay Area. “If you want to maximize your probabilities,” Saad regularly tells founders, “hang out where all the capital is, where all the builders are, where the future is.”
For some clients, Saad has become a Silicon Valley “Sherpa,” navigating their move across oceans, he said. “They know there is some magic here they need to tap into.”
Martes picked up on that energy as soon as he arrived last month from Colombia. “You come here and see autonomous cars driving around the city, and you think, ‘Am I thinking big enough?’” he said.
