Jason Caplain

I am a general partner and co-founder of Southern Capitol Ventures, a venture capital firm in Raleigh, North Carolina. We focus on software, e-commerce and digital media companies from Maryland down through Atlanta.

As quick background, I moved to NC back in 1998 to join Red Hat. Before Red Hat, I was at Harrison Hurley & Company, an investment banking and business-consulting firm headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island. I opened the firm's fourth office in Tampa.

I'm on the boards of ReverbNation, Zift Solutions and a board observer at DoublePositive Marketing Group, eTix and WeddingWire.

I was on the board of Batanga which merged with Planeta Networks and was on the board of Synthematix which sold to Symyx Technologies. I was also on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors for CED in RTP. CED is the largest entrepreneurial support organization in the nation.

I grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts, am a Bentley College grad and a huge Red Sox fan.

My wife Jennifer, my daughter Katie and I live in Raleigh, North Carolina.

I really enjoy what I do and hope this blog helps. If you have any suggestions or input to make it better, please let me know - jason@southcap.com
