Jason is a serial entrepreneur, capital allocator, and growth strategist who has built companies, raised institutional capital and deployed it — giving him a perspective most VCs never develop: what it actually feels like on both sides of the table.

He began his career as a founder, navigating the unglamorous early stages of building from zero — the fundraising rejections, the hiring mistakes, the pivots. That experience shaped how he thinks about risk, capital efficiency, and what founders actually need from their investors. He has since founded and scaled multiple ventures across technology and emerging markets.

As Managing Director at Lamarka CVC, Jason moved into institutional capital deployment, where he developed a sharp eye for what makes a pre/seed company Series A-ready — and what quietly disqualifies one. He brings that lens to every RoundTable investment.

He has built deep operator networks across Saudi Arabia and emerging markets that most venture firms treat as footnotes. He understands how capital flows, how partnerships form, and how companies scale in environments where the Western playbook simply doesn't apply.

As Venture Partner of RoundTable VC, Jason leads fundraising strategy, LP relations, and Series A positioning across the portfolio. He believes the most undervalued asset in early-stage venture isn't the idea or even the team — it's the operator who's already made the mistakes the founder is about to make.

His view on venture is simple: a check without conviction is just a transaction. The firms that earn founder trust do it by showing up when things are hard, not when things are working.
