Jakub Kostecki

I've been an entrepreneur for 20 years in the U.S. and overseas (Europe and Africa). I've run several SMEs and three startups in the enterprise/B2B space.

I've had great success and massive failure. I've made a lot of mistakes and have grown a $10mm ARR business in 12 months.

As such I believe I'm in a unique position to help investors identify both opportunities and risks in the startup investments they are considering.

I use my 20 years of good and bad experience (including some as a bad actor), together with a variety of artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing and other tools (www.StartupFactcheck.com), to allow early-stage investors to quickly screen and do deep due diligence on the startups they want to invest in.

I'm a sober alcoholic, husband of 15 years and a father of 4.

I take care of the people I love, I try to love myself and I run, eat vegan and climb/hike/kayak to get there.

We've been in Boulder for 2 years and are loving it.

I actively participate in the community (I ran the Investor Track for Boulder Startup Week and hope to continue that) and am involved in the startup world here in Colorado. I also volunteer with a local search and rescue team and am very involved with my children's schools.
