We talk about Jacob’s journey from being a literature major in college to becoming a multi-strategy fund manager. We dive into several of his investment approaches, including shorting, litigation funding, India IPOs, structured financings, activism, negative EV biotechs, crypto treasury stocks, and more.

We also discuss his and his wife's $1 million personal commitment to fund the International Rescue Committee—one of many programs directly affected by the cancellation of USAID grants.
