Johanan Ottensooser (goes by “Joj”) is an Operating Partner at Point72 Ventures, supporting investment activities and working alongside our Enterprise portfolio companies to provide insights on the state of the market, the state of solutions and product market fit.

My area of expertise is product and market discovery.  

Listening, building relationships and meeting the user where they are gives you the best possible chance of learning about the market they are in.  

I want to be where the action is. 

I’m excited about constantly learning from the smartest folks in the field, getting my hands dirty and stepping into the customer’s shoes.
