About Me

Jacob M Fernane

As a seasoned entrepreneur with over a decade of experience across capital markets, healthcare, and the digital space, I have always been driven by a deep passion for innovation. This passion not only guides my ventures, including those promoting philanthropic missions and green initiatives, but also fuels my current project—a tech-enabled multi-strategy fund that leverages emerging technologies to create sustainable financing structures for early-stage public companies. While I enjoy nearly any challenge, I am particularly fascinated by the intricacies of trading, liquidity-seeking algorithms, execution venues, and the broader function of the capital markets—areas where my expertise continues to grow.

My entrepreneurial approach blends strategic behind-the-scenes investing with hands-on consulting, a combination that consistently produces beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders. I have a proven track record in leading companies through complex phases such as corporate financing, debt structuring, mergers, and acquisitions. My deep understanding of the capital markets enriches my ability to innovate within these areas, employing out-of-the-box thinking, strong communication, and calculated risk-taking to reshape traditional financial frameworks.

Originally from San Diego, California, I co-founded a digital marketing consulting company early in my career, targeting equity capital markets and healthcare organizations. This role provided me with valuable insights that now form the foundation of my consulting work, propelling me to never stop advancing my role in helping new companies excel.

A natural-born problem solver who sees few limits, I love connecting with fellow entrepreneurs to help them rapidly expand their businesses and realize their dreams. Outside of work, I am passionate about snowboarding, wakeboarding, wake surfing, hiking, camping, traveling, and diving, continually seeking new adventures and challenges.
