Our Directors
Jay Goss
Director
Jay is currently a General Partner at Wavemaker Three-Sixty Health. Wavemaker 360 is a Pasadena-based venture fund focused 100% on healthcare start-ups seeking Seed and Series A investment. The fund’s core investment thesis is that healthcare is transitioning away from fee-for-service to value-based payments, and with that comes a massive amount of disruption, and entrepreneurs are already coming out of the woodwork to solve these problems. Before becoming a venture capitalist, Jay Goss helped bring companies to life. Jay has built and run businesses across a variety of different industries/sectors – digital and traditional – working entrepreneurially for early stage companies (from zero to five years old), and "intrapreneurially" inside large organizations such as Disney, Reed Elsevier, Summa Group and UCLA, building new business units on their behalf. Long story short, Jay knows the entrepreneurial journey uncommonly well.

“
I’ve faced a number of tough choices in my life, but taking away my mother’s dog was among the most difficult. Nancy was always eccentric. In 2011, that quirky charm dwindled away. What was originally diagnosed as mild cognitive impairment steadily progressed to Alzheimer’s dementia. Not only did Nancy lose her ability to care for herself, she also trained her Goldendoodle puppy, “Golden Bear,” to be aggressive toward her caregiver. Golden Bear was Nancy’s best friend and primary companion. Sadly, rehoming my mother’s dog exacerbated her severe loneliness and depression.
At the time, I didn’t realize that my mother’s story was shared by millions of people facing health adversities who cannot safely or practically care for a live animal.
I launched Tombot in 2017 to serve these individuals.
