Jay Kapoor

I'm a builder and researcher. I founded a healthcare-access platform that reached 10,000+ rural users, then spent the last year inside the founder's office of a 20,000-user fintech platform working on growth, strategy, and investment research.

I'm studying Economics & Statistics at the University of Pittsburgh with a minor in Information Sciences, and I do research across three Pitt / UPMC labs. I care about products that reach underserved users and about the research discipline behind good investment decisions.

My long-term goal: a venture studio or multi-project investment firm — underwriting deals and building startups in parallel.

This site is the long version of my resume — the projects behind it, with links you can open.

Open to operations / BizOps and venture (VC/PE) roles.
