Jed combines hands-on CEO experience scaling fintech companies like Paymentsense (from breakeven to £24m EBITDA in three years) and Airwallex with venture investing at Antler, giving founders someone who has actually built and scaled businesses rather than just invested in them. His background includes formal improvisational theatre training and performances at the Edinburgh Fringe, which he uses as a coaching tool to help founders with storytelling, pitch presence, and thinking quickly under pressure—skills most investors can't teach from personal experience.
