Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Kim is a business development professional with eight years of experience bridging finance, M&A, and deep-tech commercialization, currently advising on B2B autonomous drone inspection adoption for wind turbine maintenance at Nearthlab. A NYU finance major, he brings rigorous financial analysis and valuation skills honed across roles at Euclid Transactional, QuotaBook (YC W21), Marsh & McLennan, and Nomura where he supported multi-billion dollar transactions and policy issuances. He combines startup operational experience in cap table and fund administration with insurance-focused M&A risk assessment, giving him a rare cross-functional perspective on deal structuring and product-market fit. Based in New York, Jacob excels at translating technical capabilities into commercial value for diverse, innovation-driven teams. Not obvious from his title: he has direct experience quantifying insurability and premium exposure on M&A deals totaling over $100 billion, which informs his pragmatic approach to scaling novel inspection technologies.
