Jason was amazing! He was very informative and engaging.
The Pokemon Company International - Mar 14 2023 -
Jason is one of tech's rising stars. I talk to dozens of founders in and outside of the valley and it seems like everyone has a "how Jason helped story". It's rare (for me) that I run into a connector & executor in the same person. His journey inspires people so I'm glad he's starting to share it. His advice to early stage founders is blunt but good. The genuine approach to discussing tough topics like tech inclusion and the lack of funding for minority run startups works!
