Jed Katz is a serial entrepreneur-turned-investor who helped build two notable early online real estate platforms (Rent Net and Move.com), giving him unusually deep operator-level experience in proptech before it became a hot VC category. He's known for emphasizing "sophistication over age" in founders—explicitly stating he doesn't care if a founder is 22 or 42 as long as they demonstrate sophisticated thinking about their market and metrics—and for breaking down fundraising into concrete, tactical playbooks rather than just high-level perspectives.
