Jacob is the founder and CEO of Novig. He has experience in investment banking, legislative research, and financial trading. Jacob’s also been a sharp sports bettor for years, and after getting banned from sportsbooks for being profitable and growing frustrated by the inefficiency and discrimination that plague the industry, he set out to build a public betting exchange.
