E54: Jason Burchard - Co-Founder & CEO of RootNote

Jason Burchard is a Co-founder (and the older brother) at RootNote, a Nashville-based company that builds, supports, and invests in musician-owned companies. Prior to jumping into the world of music business entrepreneurship, Jason worked as a Fellow at Mustard Seed, a seed stage venture capital firm in London, and as a senior consultant at a Texas-based consultancy.
From recording studios in Nairobi to 90’s rock bars in Moscow, Jason’s love of travel and music has taken him to over 45 countries and, finally, to Nashville where he and his brother Jeremy (co-founder number two), have teamed up to support the growing number of incredibly talented artists that lack the expertise, financing, and networks to reach their true potential. Jason holds a BSc in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and MSc in Management from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
