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 more than ten companies, many valued in the hundreds of millions. What matters most to me is building with people I trust and enjoying the process along the way.

Today, I run Mahway, an investment firm that supports ambitious founders across fintech, biotech, AI, and litigation finance. We partner closely with high-conviction founders and help take them from idea to industry leader. I also sit on multiple startup boards and focus my time where I can create the most impact.

This site is where I share what I’m learning — and still figuring out — about leadership, growth, failure, and legacy. Expect real insights, honesty, and hopefully a bit of inspiration.
