About Ali Jamal
Ali Jamal is a venture capital investor at First Check Ventures who spent over a decade building products at companies like Zynga, Agoda, Rappi, and PayClip across the US, Asia, and Latin America before becoming a full-time investor, giving him pattern recognition in emerging markets rather than just Silicon Valley. He completed more than 200 angel investments and now uses his operator background to connect founders from Latin America, Asia, and Africa with growth and product expertise across regions, positioning himself as the earliest institutional believer who stays involved through multiple funding rounds.
