📍 San Francisco, California, United States

Jackson Jhin is the Co-founder and CEO of Protégé, a platform democratizing access to mentorship from world-renowned experts. He was previously the first CFO of Cameo at age 24, where he helped raise over $150M. He is also a Sequoia Capital Scout and Venture Partner at The 81 Collection, holding a B. A. from the University of Notre Dame.

Growing up with a passion for music, Jackson is an accomplished rock guitarist and pianist who once dreamed of a career in the music industry. This personal experience of struggling to find connections directly inspired his mission with Protégé. In his free time, he enjoys skiing, snowboarding, and even taking ice baths.
