Jack Trooper is a former chef who has worked in New York City, Aspen, and East Hampton at some of the worlds best restaurants including Eleven Madison Park (named the world's number one restaurant). Jack has been on the opening team for seven different restaurant businesses, most of which are still thriving. It was this experience helping to start food and hospitality businesses that pushed him to return to school for his MBA.

Jack attended the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College, where he focused on finance and entrepreneurship. After graduating, he interned at Kairos HQ, a venture capital firm in New York, before joining full time on the operations team for The House Fund.

Outside of work, Jack is an avid soccer (Força Barça!) and football fan (go Titans!), and loves to backpack across the world, eating anything and everything he can.
