Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Ma is a founder and investor with nine years of global equity research experience who now leads a stealth startup helping investors adopt AI thoughtfully. Combining hands-on sell- and buy-side research across aerospace, consumer, and growth equities with an MBA from Columbia, she translates fragmented data into actionable investment insights and writes Waveform to explore what AI truly changes in investing. Her background includes deep primary research—from field visits and channel checks to fraud verification—and a track record of pitching high-conviction ideas under pressure. Based in New York, she pairs rigorous financial analysis with curiosity about language and culture (a BA in Persian studies), which informs contrarian perspectives and nuanced qualitative research.
