Jason's Story
Jason started his career as an early stage venture capitalist. He has always been inspired by entrepreneurs who were trying to either create or change industries. Over the years, the transactions have gotten larger but the mission remains the same: bring together world class talent with the vision and the energy to transform industry. The personal relationships and comradery with these leaders and their teams have been the most satisfying part of the journey.
