Jaahred Thomas
Founder at Connectivity Capital Partners LLC
Profile
Jaahred is a Founding Partner of Connectivity Ventures Fund with an innate knack for deep, analytical dives into the merits of each project CVF considers taking on.
Prior to CVF, he spent 17 years in institutional equity sales.
He spent the majority of his time during these years focused on the Media & Technology, Healthcare, Financials, & Consumer/Retail sectors and brings this valuable public market finance and investing experience to CVF.
He began his career with Hambrecht & Quist (H&Q) as a sales assistant just as the financing wave of Web 1.0 companies was kicking off, and after 3 years was co-managing one of the largest books of business at the firm.
He subsequently went on to assume increasingly senior roles with JPMorgan, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, and Oppenheimer.
When not feverishly diving into the merits of a company’s business plan, or voraciously consuming the news, Jaahred can be found on the courts shooting hoops & playing tennis with his daughters.
He also enjoys trying new restaurants with his wife and college sweetheart, who thankfully happen to be the same person.
