Hi, I’m Jacob, a tech entrepreneur with a passion for building innovative solutions. Over the past five years, I co-founded and ran a tech startup that was recently acquired by a larger firm—marking a significant milestone in my professional journey. Currently, I’m navigating the next phase of my career while exploring new ways to foster creativity and innovation.

At the core of my work is a commitment to finding elegant solutions to complex problems with amazing people.

Besides work, I’m an avid traveler, spending so much time abroad that I feel like a global citizen.

Links

Rather than having a large personal website, it seems more appropriate for me to just include links from here to other websites where I am present.

To see what I am currently focusing on, click here.

Because I like lists, here is one:

— Books I have read or want to read

— Articles I have read and liked

— Podcasts I often listen to

The list could be longer, but that might bore you.

Contact me by sending an email.

Sometimes, I publish posts on the blog. Subscribe with your email if you want.
