About
Jacqueline Blackburn is one of the very few venture investors who previously served as a forward-deployed U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer, leading small teams on no-fail missions across the Middle East and Africa, and she explicitly connects that high-stakes operational experience to how she evaluates founding teams and mission-critical tech at Scout Ventures. She carved out a specialty in the intersection of web3/blockchain and defense, focusing on founders bridging the gaps between web3 and defense while emphasizing maximal value creation and impact through web3/blockchain infrastructure.
