Jonathan Habshush

Founder at Valar

Speaker

Jonathan Habshush is the founder of Valar, an AI-native litigation finance platform that leverages machine learning and natural language processing to identify high-potential legal claims, predict outcomes, and connect law firms with the right capital solutions. Valar’s technology enables faster, data-driven funding decisions.

Jonathan is also an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the AI2 Incubator, backed by the Allen Institute for AI. Prior to founding Valar, he built Heavys.com, an audio tech company he scaled to eight-figure revenue in under three years. His firsthand experience with a costly legal dispute exposed deep inefficiencies in the justice system and inspired him to build Valar as a smarter, tech-enabled solution. He brings a multidisciplinary background in venture building, finance, and applied AI to transforming legal finance at scale.

Jonathan holds a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of St. Gallen and was a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University.
