Zaylan Jacobsen

About

Zaylan went from behind the bar to building the tech that's changing how the entire hospitality industry operates — and he did it by understanding the problem from the inside. He didn't just study hospitality at Babson; he lived it as a server, bartender, and team leader before co-founding Nitecapp, a hospitality technology platform available on iOS and Android. He also co-founded Hospitality Innovation Labs (incubated at UW CoMotion) and Africadian Ventures, supporting entrepreneurs in Namibia.
