The Founders
The duo behind JAW
Two operators who decided that networking deserved a remix. Built JAW because the city needed a smarter, looser way to meet.
Jarrod Solomon
A media tactician and strategy whisperer with 15+ years' experience at FMT News and Sledgehammer Communications. Jarrod helps brands scale without selling out, connecting clarity with impact.
Why JAW
Built on conversations, not business cards.
We kept noticing the same thing at industry mixers: everyone left with cards, no one left with connections. So we built the room we wanted to walk into.
JAW is what happens when you take the energy of nightlife, the ambition of the boardroom, and put them in the same room — at 6 p.m., on a Wednesday.
