The Chicago Firm That Made a Business Out of Betting on the Boring Pipes of Finance
Spun out of one of the world's most secretive trading firms, Jump Capital has spent a decade quietly funding the infrastructure that markets, money, and software run on - and it prefers the unglamorous parts.

Ashin Shah is the co-founder and CEO of Made Card, a New York fintech building the first credit card designed for the full homeownership lifecycle. After a decade in investing - Bain Capital Credit, an activist hedge fund, and a principal seat at Valinor Management - Shah teamed up with fellow Harvard math alum Christophe Van to attack a gap hiding in plain sight: the largest expenses in American life, mortgages and home costs, earn no rewards. The Made Essential Visa Signature Preferred Card pays homeowners for on-time mortgage payments and everyday home spending, with points redeemable toward lower closing costs. In November 2025 the company launched with $8M+ in seed funding co-led by Jump Capital and Village Global, plus a nationwide distribution deal with Fairway Home Mortgage.
