Jack Cantillon

Jack Cantillon is a Dublin-based venture capitalist and co-founder and partner at Green Room, a talent investing fund that backs individuals before they become founders. He is known for writing essays that draw analogies between early-stage venture investing and fields such as fashion houses and elite racehorse breeding, arguing that as software costs trend toward zero, technology companies will increasingly resemble fashion houses led by creative directors rather than traditional engineering-led startups. He is also an active angel investor in early-stage startups.
