About Jason Green
After 25+ amazing years in the venture business I've decided to dedicate more of my time to giving back through philanthropic initiatives and impact investing with the Greenbridge Family Foundation. Our mission is to help unlock human potential and to keep the planet healthy and sustainable. Focus areas include reducing climate change and protecting the planet, reducing mass incarceration, empowering less advantaged youth, women and children, supporting a thriving Democracy and several others. We like backing ambitious entrepreneurs with big ideas and bigger hearts and hope to bring the venture capital approach to high impact philanthropy. At Emergence, our mission was to be the most important partner for the most important enterprise cloud companies of the future. it was an amazing journey having backed such stalwarts as Salesforce.com, Zoom, Bill.com, Doximity, SuccessFactors, ServiceMax, Veeva, Box, SalesLoft and Yammer among many others. Emergence won the Venture Capital Firm of the Year from the National Venture Capital Association in 2017, the first ever awarded. I am proud of the firm we built and the firm it has yet to become. I love entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship and am a big believer in giving back. I am a Founding Board member of Endeavor which helps entrepreneurs around the world in developing economies and have served on that board for 20 years. I led the successful spinout as Founding Chairman of the Kauffman Fellows Program, the leading educational fellowship in venture capital. I served as Chairman of California Research Center for HBS and on the board of the Rock Center for Entrepreneurship. I served on the board of the NVCA. Was a Dartmouth '89 and HBS '94. For fun like to travel abroad, play tennis and golf, hang with my two great kids and wife, workout, and enjoy a great pinot noir. Funniest fact is I'm a twin married to a twin!
