Jake Gibson is the Founding Partner of Better Tomorrow Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm in San Francisco that he co-founded in 2019 with Sheel Mohnot after scaling his previous company, NerdWallet, to a multi-billion-dollar IPO. His investment thesis focuses exclusively on early-stage fintech companies globally, targeting the intersection of financial services and software at the pre-seed and seed stages. The firm typically leads investment rounds in these stages, leveraging Gibson’s operator background as a “founder who became a VC” to evaluate products and founders. Notable portfolio companies include Unit, Ironclad, Ramp, and Nova Credit, reflecting his focus on financial infrastructure and digital banking. Gibson distinguishes himself by framing his approach through his experience co-founding NerdWallet, rather than as a career investor, and previously invested in companies like Albert, ChipperCash, and Flexport before founding BTV. He holds two bachelor’s degrees from MIT in Mathematics and Management Science and previously traded interest rate derivatives at JPMorgan Chase.
