Mark Jacobstein is an investor who likes to build things, not just fund them. That's why the slogan of his investment firm Near Horizon Ventures is "We're not just investors, we're your co-founders."
In this interview we trace Mark's long and winding road from game exec — cofounding mobile gaming pioneer Digital Chocolate with EA cofounder Trip Hawkins — to his current role founding Near Horizon Ventures, where he funds startups in biotech and AI. It's a fascinating glimpse into a Silicon Valley veteran who's not afraid to cross industry lines.
