Gareth Jones co-founded and helped build three fintech companies that successfully exited—Multex (IPO then sale to Reuters), Serverside (sold to Gemalto), and CardLab (sold to Blackhawk Network)—giving him repeat operator experience in fintech before becoming an investor. Before his fintech career, he spent three years sailing a 36-foot boat 33,000 nautical miles from the UK to the Antarctic Circle, an unusual background that reflects his approach to tackling challenging and unfamiliar environments.
