The 4 T’s of Investing - Jay Leek - Watters Edge - Episode #2

Host John Watters sits down with longtime friend Jay Leek, Managing Partner of SYN Ventures, to trace his path from building computers in his family's business in West Texas to operating roles at Nokia, Equifax, and Blackstone, where he became the first CISO in private equity. Jay explains how those experiences shaped his move into full time investing, and shares how he evaluates founding teams, why timing now carries as much weight as team and technology, and how AI is reshaping the attack surface and the role of the engineer.
