NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pre-seed healthcare innovation fund Jumpstart Foundry (JSF) announces today the appointment of its new Managing Director, Haley “Zap” Zapolski.

“The addition of Haley as the Jumpstart Foundry MD is an exciting milestone for the entire team,” said Doug Edwards, CEO of Jumpstart Health Investors, parent company of Jumpstart Foundry. “She has the experience, ambition, and grit to help lead Jumpstart Foundry into its next phase of expansion. I can say with great confidence that adding Haley to the team is going to positively impact not only JSF, but Jumpstart Health Investors as a whole.”

Over the course of her business career, Haley has been dedicated to supporting innovation. She served as Manager of Employer Engagement at Nashville Software School, connecting employers to their software development and data talent. Prior to that, she managed Renew Nashville, a covid recovery program for 500+ small businesses through Metro Nashville and the Nashville Entrepreneur Center.

“I’ve had the chance to work with founders for the past several years, but I’m thrilled to now work on the capital side,” said Zapolski. “At the end of the day, Nashville is a healthcare city, and I hope that innovating the industry and building upon what JSF has already done will continue to make an impact.”
