Jeffrey Moss

Jeffrey works with colleges, universities, foundations, companies, and students to help improve the college-to-career transition process.

While many organizations focus on college accessibility (which is vital), those pursuing a degree or have already graduated can get ignored. As a result, Career Launchers, many of whom have demonstrated their skills and grit, successfully overcoming obstacles to earn a degree, are often underemployed after graduation.

Beyond Parker Dewey, Jeffrey is passionate about the importance of education for all students. After recognizing how lucky he was to be the product of New Jersey public schools (though he did not feel so lucky at the time), Jeffrey has worked to improve educational outcomes for those students who are not so fortunate. Both as an investor and through non-profit endeavors, Jeffrey has supported organizations serving K-12 students, individuals with special needs, college and universities, and adult learners. He also helps his two daughters with their homework.

Jeffrey served in senior operating roles with Educational Testing Service (ETS) and Specialized Education Services (acquired by Catapult Learning). Jeffrey spent much of his career as a venture capital investor supporting technology-enabled organizations in the education, business services, and software sectors. Jeffrey’s investments include Connections Education (acquired by Pearson), Ashworth College, Progressus Therapy, Fleetcor (NYSE: FLT), ProClarity (acquired by Microsoft), Avectra (acquired by Abila), and The SAVO Group.

Jeffrey serves on the Indiana University Kelley School of Business Alumni Board and the Dean’s Advisory Council for Purdue University’s College of Liberal Arts. His other Board responsibilities have included: Chairman of the Board of Workstream (Nasdaq: WSTM), a software provider for human resources departments; OneGoal, a non-profit focused on college accessibility and persistence; and the Illinois Venture Capital Association.
