Rebel Ventures / The Firm
Rebel Ventures is a strategy and execution firm working across entrepreneurial ecosystems, organizations, and high-growth ventures navigating growth, transition, innovation, and what comes next.
We bring senior-level thinking, hands-on implementation, venture strategy, and practical AI to turn ambitious ideas into real-world momentum.
PEOPLE / EXPERIENCE / EXECUTION
Not Just Advice
Some challenges don't need another report. They need someone who can see the larger system, find the path forward, bring the right people together, and stay close enough to help make it happen.
That's where Rebel Ventures works best.
We move between strategy and execution — clarifying what's next, building what is missing, and creating the capacity to move.
Our Work
Fractional Leadership + Embedded Execution
We step inside organizations during periods of growth, transition, launch, or reinvention — helping translate priorities into systems, partnerships, programs, and execution.
Explore Embedded LeadershipVenture + Capital Strategy
We work directly with high-growth founders and leadership teams navigating the path from early traction toward scale — helping them make stronger decisions about their market, business model, growth strategy, capital, and investor relationships. The work goes beyond fundraising. We help founders strengthen the underlying venture, sharpen the story investors need to understand, and align market strategy, product-market fit, growth, and capital around the next stage of the company.
Explore Venture + Capital StrategyAI + Innovation
We help organizations and founders identify where AI can create meaningful leverage, redesign workflows, experiment with new operating models, and turn ideas into working products and tools. Our approach moves from strategy into implementation — combining human judgment, AI-native workflows, and rapid product development so teams can test ideas earlier, learn faster, and make better decisions before committing significant time and capital.

Two Perspectives. One Firm.
Rebel Ventures brings together two complementary perspectives on what it takes for businesses to grow.
Lisandra strengthens the systems around entrepreneurs through program strategy, organizational capacity, emerging technology, and execution. Jason works directly with high-growth founders and venture teams across strategy, product-market fit, capital, investor relationships, and scale.
Together, their work spans both sides of the entrepreneurial economy: the ventures being built and the systems designed to help them succeed.
Co-Founder + Managing Partner

His PhD work in Value-Creating Education for Global Citizenship at DePaul University brings a deeper lens to value creation, human agency, leadership, and sustainable economic and social value. That perspective helps founders build resilient companies, trusted relationships, and durable value.

The future doesn't need more strategy sitting on shelves. It needs organizations willing to experiment, founders willing to listen, leaders willing to rethink what's possible, and partners willing to make change real.
That's the kind of work we came here to do.
