Hi, I’m Jordan Leopold.
Welcome to my page! Get to know me a little bit to see if it makes sense for us to connect. You can reach me below.I’m a San Francisco Bay Area native from Hayward that studied Economics at Cal State East Bay.I’m the eldest of three children of a Mother who was a standout community leader. I grew wanting to help as many people as possible, developing a utilitarian and human-centered approach to adding “value” in my work. Every role I assumed was with the intent to gain something foundational in skill, subject matter knowledge and network. That’s how I spent my twenties. Now it’s time to legacy build. Want to work together?Professionally, I have 8 years of experience in the Tech Startup industry - 6 years in Sales & Business Development and 2 years in Venture Capital. I have helped generate hundreds of thousands in revenue selling high-end banking services, software development operation tools, and investor industry data. As a VC, I met countless founders, screened hundreds of startups, and met incredible investors - allowing me to source 2 investments in startups founded by underrepresented entrepreneurs. Later in Investor Relations at a startup accelerator, I mentored over 25 founders and facilitated over 600 introductions between founders and early-stage investors. Throughout my time in the VC space, I planned, promoted and hosted a number of networking and pitch events for founders, investors, and business operators from a range of cutting edge industries.In addition to my business pedigree, I have a great amount of experience in politics, community organizing and non-profits. During my time in college on student government, I analyzed, tracked and lobbied for or against legislation that impacted Cal State students - simultaneously leading the student lobbying efforts across 23 CSU campuses - the largest university system in the country. During and after my time in college, I organized grassroots efforts to address serious academic and social issues by collaborating with countless community leaders, nonprofits, and grassroots organizations to educate and mobilize communities for their political and social wellbeing - bridging gaps, changing policy and building communities.Currently:
