Pelican Advisors

Pelican Advisors operates as the single-family office for Michael John Burkett and Erin Kelly-Burkett, the co-founders of the independent punk label Fat Wreck Chords. The office was formed to oversee long-term capital allocation for the principals and their related entities. Allocations span private equity, infrastructure and natural resources. Confirmed investment types include buyout, growth and seed stages. Geographic focus remains North America. Joint-venture activity includes midstream energy assets with Mercuria Energy Group. Additional holdings encompass commercial property at 710 Sansome Street in San Francisco. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. Harris Ziskroit previously served as chief investment officer before joining Engine No. 1 as managing director. Adjacent vehicles include the philanthropic entity Punkvoter, Inc. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The office maintains a hybrid model that pairs direct infrastructure ownership with co-investments alongside external partners in energy and logistics.
