About

Jason Mackey combines venture capital investing with active political engagement, having run for Massachusetts state representative and served as CEO of the Economic Rights Council, while positioning himself as part of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism to integrate economic policy themes into his investing approach. Unlike most venture investors who focus primarily on software, he built his perspective through founding companies across diverse sectors including energy services, supply-chain operations, and executive networks, giving him hands-on experience in both digital and traditional asset-heavy industries.
