Jason Stoffer
Principal
Meet our resident brainiac. Jason joined Maveron as a senior associate in 2007 and became a principal in 2009, focusing on the education and e-commerce industries. He is a board member of zulily and a Board observer at Altius Education and Livemocha.
Prior to joining Maveron, Jason served as senior director of strategic operations for Career Education Corp., where he co-founded and led admissions and marketing for IADT Online, a for-profit design school. At Career Education, he also spearheaded broad initiatives to develop new digital marketing strategies, increase sales force effectiveness, and restructure the company's call center operations. He has also served as an associate at Spinnaker Ventures, an expansion-stage venture capital fund, which focuses on investments in information technology, communications and business services.
Jason, who set out to become the world’s greatest veterinarian at the age of five, has shifted his career goals, but his love of animals remains. He and his wife have adopted a schnauzer, known of course for their smarts.
Jason holds a BA in economics from the University of Michigan, Phi Beta Kappa, and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
