Lee Jacobs

Founder and General Partner, Long Journey Ventures

About

Lee Jacobs co-founded Long Journey Ventures after being a repeat founder himself, and he explicitly uses his own entrepreneurial experience as a benchmark for backing what he calls magically weird founders who sit outside standard Silicon Valley pattern-matching. He positions himself as a second believer investor willing to commit early to technically complex ideas across both software and capital-intensive sectors, while maintaining an unusually open and accessible persona that welcomes pitches from overlooked founders rather than requiring warm introductions.
