Daft.

Definition: Foolish, insane, crazy.

The best startups sound “daft” to begin with.
They are laughed at, dismissed and ignored.
Before long they become mainstream.

My name is Jon Dishotsky.

I am an early-stage startup investor and mentor.

I am an Investment Partner at Giant Ventures. We believe the biggest companies of the decade will be built using advanced technology to tackle the world’s biggest challenges. We have backed Agreena, Block, Calm, Mighty Buildings, Sesame and more.

I have also angel invested AvantStay, Mercury, Remote, Verifiable, and was an early advisor to Cruise, Mixpanel, Optimizely, Quip, Scribd, Weebly, Y Combinator, and Zenefits.

I was previously the CEO and co-founder of one of the world’s largest coliving startups, Starcity.

I look for outlier founders with an unyeilding passion to take their ideas and scale them around the globe.

You can find me on Twitter, Linkedin, or Email.
