Operating Partner

Jeremy Johnson is a serial entrepreneur and investor whose career has been shaped by a consistent theme: unlocking human potential. He co-founded 2U, which helped leading universities including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, and UNC bring world-class education online, and served as CTO, then CMO, then CSO through the company’s 2014 IPO. He later co-founded Andela on the premise that brilliance is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not.

At Andela, Jeremy helped build one of the earliest global talent marketplaces, connecting companies with exceptional technologists and helping catalyze the growth of tech ecosystems across six continents. Andela became a widely recognized leader in the shift to remote work and a trusted partner to enterprise engineering organizations. Across 2U and Andela, Jeremy helped raise more than $500 million and built at the intersection of technology, education, talent, and access.

That same through line is what draws him to Outlander. He is deeply aligned with the firm’s focus on identifying extraordinary founders early and actively helping them scale into consequential company builders. Jeremy brings an operator’s lens shaped by the full startup journey – vision, product, fundraising, team building, and scale – along with a strong belief that the best investing is not just about picking winners, but about recognizing exceptional people and helping them reach their full potential.
