RavenRock was founded by Jason Mackey and Yuri Cataldo, entrepreneurs and operators united by a shared commitment to building enduring companies. Jason is known for uncovering overlooked opportunities, structuring unconventional deals, and helping founders scale through pragmatic, often unorthodox approaches. Yuri brings deep expertise in operational excellence, with a background spanning blockchain technologies, the built environment, AI infrastructure, and robotics.

Together, they launched RavenRock with a clear conviction: artificial intelligence will reshape the global economy more profoundly than any technology before it, and faster than most expect. From its base in Boston, RavenRock backs early-stage founders building the infrastructure and applications driving this transformation. The fund draws on its founders’ operating experience, network, and judgment to partner with AI-native teams tackling high-friction, rules-based sectors; as well as the compute, data, and energy infrastructure required to scale them.

The fund is named after Raven Rock, a real-world continuity-of-government facility built to safeguard critical systems in times of crisis. We chose the name because it reflects the duality at the heart of our thesis: AI is both the most powerful and the most potentially destabilizing technology of our generation. RavenRock is built to operate in that tension; backing companies that both seize the moment and secure the future.

Our mission is to back the builders of the AI century: founders using intelligent systems to reinvent legacy sectors and strengthen the physical and digital foundations of the modern economy. With a blend of strategic insight and hands-on partnership, we invest early, stay deeply engaged, and help companies grow into resilient, category-defining leaders built to endure — safeguarding the future of American innovation.
