Jason’s a rockstar. He’s smart, well connected and always willing to help. You won’t find anyone with more startup experience. We’re lucky to have him involved..

No nonsense, well-connected, straight-shooter.

Jason is totally pro-entrepreneur, is an idea machine, and is one of the few people who can really see a little around the corner. I'd spent months thinking about privacy every day and in 10 minutes he came up with everything I'd thought of and threw in a super clever business model on top. Get him involved in your startup -- and listen carefully.
