About

Jake Medwell is one of the few venture investors who has built his entire investing focus around logistics and supply chains, becoming widely recognized as the most active FreightTech investor and leading deals at companies like Flexport, Project44, and Motive. Unlike most VCs, he brings direct founding experience across multiple sectors—from consumer products to mobile software to crisis logistics during COVID—and operates with an unusual speed and directness that founders cite as rare among investors.
