Jonathan Aberman

I’m currently Managing Director of Amplifier Venture Partners, a seed and early stage venture capital fund making investments in the Mid-Atlantic.  I founded Amplifier in 2005, after a career as a corporate and venture capital lawyer with some of the leading technology law firms in the US.  Prior to being a lawyer I was an investment banker, arbitrage trader and economist in London, England. 

In addition to my role as a venture investor, I am also an Adjunct Professor at George Mason University and University of Maryland in their respective schools of business and management.  I serve as a Board member of a number of organizations that are involved in technology commercialization, including the Venture Genesis Forum, the Virginia Biotechnology Association and George Mason Intellectual Properties.

When I am relaxing I enjoy playing one of my electric guitars too loudly, watching one of my favorite sports teams lose in painful fashion and reading far too much science fiction and current political history.
