About me

Where my chips are

Everything I've got chips on.

About me

Hey, I'm Jacob Ossip. I'm from Toronto but am now living in Ann Arbor, MI. I went to Upper Canada College for high school, and I'm now at the University of Michigan in the Stephen M. Ross School of Business. I've built two companies, ran a $380K (CAD) charity fundraiser for Chai Lifeline, led Live2Give (200+ member community service organization) and spent a lot of time on the soccer and rugby pitch.

I like building things and figuring out what they're worth. Right now, I'm building CleverlyAI on one side. On the other, I'm exploring the world of finance. So far, I've done equity research, stock pitches, and was a financial analyst at Verve, a Canadian senior-living company.

Off the clock, my favourite activities are poker, chess, and sports. I've played soccer my whole life, though I decided it was time to halt my competitive career after playing on Canada's U19 national Maccabi Games team. I played rugby throughout high school, and love playing pickup sports like basketball when I have some free time.

Q♦
Finance

The other side of the table

I'm interested in investment banking, private equity and venture capital.

Investment banking

The deal work

What pulls me in: modelling, process, and getting a transaction across the line. The fundamentals everything else is built on.

M&AValuationProcess
Private equity

Buy it, build it

What pulls me in: owning the outcome. Finding the operating levers and knowing the exit before the cheque is written.

DiligenceOperationsReturns
Venture capital

Early bets

What pulls me in: backing founders before the numbers exist. I've sat on the founder side of that pitch and raised a pre-seed.
