We’re excited to introduce our 2024 #KaporCapital Summer Fellows Jesse Barlowe and Jasmin Johnson! Since 2011, our Summer Associates program has provided a pathway for individuals typically underrepresented in venture capital to gain exposure to the VC industry. This summer, our two amazing fellows will gain hands-on experience evaluating prospective investments, conducting market research, and supporting our portfolio companies. Learn more about them below ⬇️ Jesse is an MBA student at Columbia Business School who spent his career in operating roles at companies such as BuzzFeed, Verizon, and Google. He is passionate about advising, investing in, and working side-by-side with founders. Jasmin is an incoming MBA student at Harvard Business School and most recently served as the Corporate Development Chief of Staff at SCAN, where she supported the Head of Corporate Development in M&A, strategic partnerships, venture investing, and managing the organization’s portfolio of diversified companies that deliver care to older adults.
