With graduate degrees in materials science and engineering, a recently completed PHd in Physics from Cambridge University and experience at a venture backed start-up, Jason Pinto brings the combination of the academic and practical business expertise that marks out associates at Amadeus. Since joining the firm in 2007, Jason has focused primarily on the semiconductor and hardware sectors. He has supported a number of investments and worked with many portfolio companies including: Forth Dimension Displays, which develops micro-displays; Edgeware, which builds server systems for on-demand TV; Xelerated, a provider of network processors; Liquavista, which develops low power consumption high viewability electronic displays; and EnQii, which provides a managed service proposition to digital-out-of-home advertising networks.
