Jason Lee · Founder & Investor
I back relentless founders
solving hard problems.
From fusion energy to AI safety to synthetic biology — investing my own capital, moving fast, and staying involved after the check clears.
Hard problems. Relentless founders. Personal conviction.

01 / About
A founder first.
An investor by conviction.
I know what it takes to build something that hasn't existed before.
I founded DailyPay, exiting at a $2 billion valuation, then founded Salt Labs, acquired by Chime for $173 million. Today, I'm building my third company, Minim Science.
I look for founders pushing the edge of what's technically possible — the kind of work that takes deep expertise and a long horizon to get right.
Every check is my own money, so decisions are fast and there's no committee to go through.
