Philosophy

I think it’s easier to be a good partner to a founder-owner if you have been involved in starting and building a business

Seeing around corners, anticipating the evolution of an industry, is what differentiates successful entrepreneurs

I’m a big believer in the saying, if you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right

Entrepreneurship

Jay founded two successful private equity firms, beginning each time with a blank sheet of paper
