    Founder of Fundera (Nerdwallet) & GroupMe (Skype/Microsoft) Path to VC | Jared Hecht, USV

    Jared Hecht, Molly O'Shea

    Venture Partner Jared Hecht joins Union Square Ventures to apply his serial founder experience from exits at GroupMe and Fundera toward backing contrarian startups operating at the edge of large markets. Under USV's collaborative, generalist partnership model, the firm prioritizes deep founder support, honest feedback, and consistent pro-rated follow-on investing to navigate transformative sectors like AI and healthcare. This approach is bolstered by a shifting New York tech landscape where traditional finance alumni are increasingly dominating the founder ecosystem, effectively moving the region's startup culture from the fringe to the epicenter.
