About Me:
I'm a GTM leader, currently leading partnerships at Vero Technologies. Previously I helped build some great teams at ACV Auctions. I love building. I'm a co-founder of Refraction, an automotive SaaS company and Good Neighbor Fund, a grant program supporting early-stage entrepreneurs.
I'm a husband, and father of two amazing kiddos, Levi and Tinsley. When I'm not working, I'm usually tinkering with a new project, taking photos, or over-engineering my longevity protocol.
Jason's Projects
Co-Founder, Refraction
I co-founded Refraction, an automotive SaaS platform built to future-proof dealerships. Think Shopify for car dealers. With my co-founder, I led product development, brought it to market, and raised VC funding. Additionally, I developed GhostLot, a standalone product within the Refraction ecosystem.
Co-Founder, Good Neighbor Fund
I am the co-founder of Good Neighbor Fund, a micro-grant program supporting ideation-stage and historically underrepresented founders. To date, we've awarded over $30k in micro-grants. My work has included fundraising, partnerships, creation of the brand and content, and development of the GNF platform.
Founder, Good Vibes Games
I founded Good Vibes Games, my solo game development studio. Creating games that I would actually want to play.
Tandem Daily Games: Daily word puzzles, crosswords, and movie games. Available on iOS and web. www.tandemdaily.com
Who I'd Like To Meet
Other builders, entrepreneurs and creators. Fellow parents trying to balance work and family. Anyone interested in longevity, digital minimalism, or just having good conversations about building things. People that believe that you can "just do things."
