Hey, I'm Jonathan Manzi.
I'm a serial entrepreneur/founder.
I started my first "official" business in high school, an adtech company, which I grew to $3.2 million in revenue before I graduated. I received some fanfare for it making me a millionaire at 16.
I studied at Stanford and went on to co-found and serve as CEO of Ink,¹ a "modern" version of Fedex Office, and Beyond Protocol, a blockchain protocol for inter-device communication and value transfer. I scaled the companies to $200m+ combined value by 30. At 32, I was sentenced to prison for misdemeanor, self-defensive computer hacking, temporarily sidelining me. I'm back and working on a new project.
I became very interested in aspects of the world outside of the one we can immediately see (quantum dynamics, spirituality, etc.) after an experience I could not reconcile.
I believe in the principles of love, mission, and service. I identify as an agnostic, skeptic turned Christian based on evidence.
I sometimes post on social media: X, LinkedIn, Facebook
