Entrepreneur • Investor • Builder of Bold Things

Welcome. I’m Jess Mah — founder, operator, investor, and unapologetic optimist. I launched my first business in middle school, raised millions by my 20s, and have since helped build over 10 companies now valued at $100M+. But what matters most to me? Building companies with people I trust — and having fun doing it.

Today, I run Mahway, an investment firm that supports ambitious founders in fintech, biotech, AI, and litigation finance. My team of 20+ operators helps high-conviction founders go from “idea” to “industry leader.” I also serve on five boards and invest my time where I can have the highest leverage.

This site is where I share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still figuring out) about leadership, growth, failure, and legacy. Expect real talk, transparency, and hopefully, some inspiration.
