About Nicole Friedman
JJ Kasper describes himself as a "previously disgruntled academic, failed attorney, reformed consultant, retired turnaround guy, wistful musician, and reluctant VC," reflecting an unusually non-linear path that founders tend to remember and relate to. He uses a consulting-style, case-interview approach to evaluate founders where their own business becomes the case, and he probes how they think and reason under uncertainty rather than relying on hype or superficial pattern-matching.
