Jacob Colker

Managing Director, Allen Institute for AI (AI2) Incubator

About

Jacob Colker co-created AI2 Incubator from scratch and specializes in being the "non-technical cofounder" who handles go-to-market, sales, partnerships, and business strategy for deeply technical AI founders. He leads venture creation from the idea stage through the first 12-18 months, often stepping in before there's even a full team, and taught entrepreneurship for six years while building his reputation as a hands-on company builder rather than just a check writer.
