Will Walker

Investor at Jump Capital

Speaker

Will is an investor at Jump Capital, based in NYC, backing Seed - Series B founders reimagining financial services and commerce with AI.

He came up in the messy middle of startup life: sales engineering and growth strategy at Yext and Salesloft, selling and implementing enterprise software before he ever wrote a check. He spends most of his time with founders on distribution, pricing, and the go-to-market edge that unlocks escape velocity.

Will has lived in NYC since 2018 and thinks it's the best place in the world to build early. Maybe it's cliche, but New York really is a melting pot of industry - finance of course, but also media, education, entertainment, food, sports - all in one place. As software development commoditizes, that kind of collision yields original insight.

Outside work: Will is a former nationally-ranked tennis player, an amateur fiction writer, and most importantly a compulsive hunter of NYC restaurant reservations.
