Show Notes

In this episode of the En Factor, we are thrilled to be joined by Jake Colognesi, who is the founder of Mamba Growth Equity. Jake has spent numerous years as an investor and analyst in the technology space, working for firms like Fidelity Ventures, Volition Capital and Sageview Capital before he started his own growth equity firm, Mamba, just one year ago back in 2024. Jake has retained his focus on the technology world since Mamba’s founding, investing in B2B software companies in their earlier stages and providing these entrepreneurs with focused and valuable strategic and financial advice and expertise. Jake’s leadership experience goes beyond being a founder, as he also has spent over a decade as a board member for numerous different companies around the United States and Canada. 

You won’t want to miss out on this episode filled with meaningful and thoughtful insights and advice as Jake and Dr. Rebecca White dive into conversations such as Jake’s professional journey and the start of his entrepreneurial journey, funding advice for early stage entrepreneurs, and best practices for building and operating successfully as a board.
