About Jay Adelson

Jay Adelson is an angel investor and General Partner at Center Electric, an early-stage venture capital firm that primarily invests in Internet infrastructure and the component technologies required to support the Internet of Things (IoT). His distinctive thesis focuses on investing in the "shovels to the miners"—the underlying infrastructure like network systems, data center power distribution, and industrial automation needed for billions of connected devices, rather than just the consumer IoT endpoints. Notable portfolio companies include FreeWire Technologies (utilities infrastructure), Hipcamp (camping platform), August Home (smart home), and Sr.Pago (financial software), with typical seed-round check sizes ranging from $1M to $2M.
