Hello, authoring this site is Jon Chait. I’m currently a General Partner of Dace Ventures (intersects of AI, marketing, mobile, commerce and new media) based in the Boston, MA area.
I also am Managing Partner of Belay Ventures (mission-driven innovations & services) as well as a Partner of Mount Independence Investments (family office fund, seed to growth stages).
I sometimes begin to introduce myself as a “former entrepreneur” and pause to chuckle. Truth is that I will always be one. Whether as a founder, CEO, advisor or investor, it has been a great pleasure to collaborate with so many talented, driven, inventive, creative and resilient fellow entrepreneurs. These many visionaries, technologists, marketers and thought-leaders (not mutually exclusive of course) have shaped my career, both in the US and around the world. My own personal journey continues to seek new market opportunities & innovations and scale new category leaders. One of my recent ventures has been an early-stage investment fund focused on the next wave of Internet innovation. See more at www.daceventures.com
The posts in this site are simply personal reflections and experiences as an entrepreneur, investor, self-admitted technology geek, global citizen, diehard Boston sports fan, weekend athlete and devoted father and husband. I will write here periodically to enjoy it, and also continue to dialogue via many other media platforms. So, if you find large gaps between my posts and responding to comments, please understand that my above interests, including helping others in general, are my primary focus. To me, blogging is a dialogue about the journey, looking ahead and reflecting on what is past. Thanks for reading.
-Jon.
