Jamie Bird is Co-Founder and CEO of Avyn, a startup automating origination and dealflow for private markets including Venture Capital and Venture Debt.

Jamie spent approximately four years as an investor, including a role as Visiting Analyst at Newion, a European VC firm, before making the leap into founding.

With deep firsthand experience on the investor side, Jamie brings a rare operator-investor perspective to building tools that directly address the inefficiencies he witnessed in private markets dealflow.

Jamie co-founded Avyn alongside Cameron Helsby, launching the company out of stealth with a focus on disrupting how private market firms source and manage deal origination.

Avyn is positioned to shake up private markets by automating origination workflows for VC, Venture Debt, and Venture funds, addressing a largely manual and fragmented process across the industry.
