Jack is a serial entrepreneur and investor at Augment, where he works alongside the CEO on strategy and operations. He brings over three years of experience in private secondary research, following a career in venture capital evaluating early- and growth-stage companies. Having worked at five different startups, he remains an active investor in the ecosystem. He believes the best private companies should not be reserved for the 1%—and that transparency and regulation are the only ways to truly democratize the private markets. He is currently based in Austin, and claims that he will one day move to Japan (or so he says).
