Jahed Momand is the co-founder and General Partner at Cerulean Ventures, backing pre-seed and seed stage founders applying AI to build complex solutions to complex problems in the domains of sustainable supply chains, electrification, and decoding nature. Along the way to Cerulean, Jahed has been a product leader in applying AI to enterprise developer operations, healthcare data, NLP, and ad serving. He co-founded Magalix (through the prestigious 500Startups accelerator), and built a multi-million dollar revenue business applying AI (back in 2018, simply tensorflow models) to enterprise developer operations. He led product and then marketing, and exited the company to WeaveWorks (UK) in 2021. Before that he led product at Conversa Health applying conversational AI to chronic care management, and ML in creative ad serving at Vungle ($800M sale to Blackstone). A long(er) time ago, Jahed went to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign's prestigious PhD program, studying Chemical Physics (MS), and completed degrees in biology and chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. Prior to starting his business career, he played poker professionally online and in tournament settings. Along the way, he has been an active angel investor in the user- and community-owned Ownership Economy by investing in over 30 companies, and co-founded and runs the premier podcast in the space aptly titled the Ownership Economy.
