Jasper Burns.

I'm a JD/MBA candidate at Stanford and a Knight-Hennessy Scholar.

I previously served eight years active duty in the U.S. Navy flying EA-18G Growler fighter jets—the electronic attack variant of the F/A-18 Super Hornet. I deployed aboard the USS Carl Vinson to the West Pacific, and then after my cockpit tours, served as a resident aviator in the intelligence community and as a White House Social Aide. There, I escorted Heads of State and executed national events like State Dinners.

Following that, I was a Military Fellow at McKinsey & Company in the Private Equity practice, and a Summer Research Fellow at the Institute for Law & AI. I'm now building an AI-native startup backed by StartX, Stanford Venture Studio, and Breakthrough Ventures.
