Carl Jacobs is a venture capital investor at RDY Ventures who brings a rare combination of being both a current restaurant technology CEO (co-founder of Apicbase, a food operations platform) and an active podcast host interviewing foodservice leaders, giving him unusually deep pattern recognition for scaling multi-site restaurant operations. His dual role as operator-investor, combined with his content creation through The Food Service Growth Show, provides RDY-backed founders access to a highly targeted global network of restaurant operators and technology partners rather than typical generalist investor connections.
