Jason Ball has moved from a UK-based managing director role at mobile chipmaker Qualcomm’s corporate venturing unit, Qualcomm Ventures, to become a partner at consumer-focused venture capital firm GR Capital.
Ball spent more than 11 years at Qualcomm Ventures, focusing on augmented and virtual reality, mobility, artificial intelligence and internet-of-things investments.
Deals led by Ball include rounds for video advertising management platform Videoplaza, online radio service We7 and network-on-chip technology provider Arteris, all of which were later acquired.
GR Capital is a late-stage investor with a portfolio that includes Deliveroo, Glovo, Lime and Wefox. Ball joined the firm at the same time as Gopinath Selveswaran, previously director of investor relations at VC firm Balderton Capital, as it expands from its Ukrainian venture roots.
