Jason Syversen has spent more than 25 years operating at the highest levels of cybersecurity, venture capital, and applied technology.

As a Program Manager at DARPA, he managed a $100M cybersecurity portfolio focused on advanced national security systems. He later founded and exited Siege Technologies, building a profitable cyber company in a highly competitive market. Since then, he has invested in more than 45 early-stage companies across AI and cybersecurity.

After his exit, Jason donated the majority of his proceeds to combat human trafficking and poverty. Today, he helps fund initiatives that free individuals from modern-day slavery, often for as little as $100 per person.

He is now the Founder and CEO of SportsVisio, an AI-driven sports analytics company using computer vision to automate statistics and highlights for athletes and teams.
