Jay Kapoor

As co-founder and GP of VSC Ventures, Jay loves backing and supporting companies tackling labor shortages in dirty, dusty, and dangerous industries. Jay lives for taking “boring” businesses in “unsexy” industries and making them sexier through his decade+ experience in content, media, and storytelling. Previously, Jay led the seed investing practice at LaunchCapital and was an early investor in Revel, the NYC-based urban transportation and electrification startup, an early backer of identity verification and fraud prevention unicorn Alloy as well as Datasembly, the fastest growing SaaS platform in grocery and retail. Before that, Jay worked with startups at Techstars and MESA, which exited to Houlihan Lokey in 2016.
