Jonathan Medved is a serial entrepreneur and according to the Washington Post (2007) "one of Israel's leading high-tech venture capitalists". In the 2008 NY Times Supplement "Israel at 60" Medved was named one of the top 10 most influential Americans who have impacted Israel.

Medved is the founder and CEO of Our Crowd, the leading global equity crowdfunding platform for accredited investors and angels.

OurCrowd exits include: Jump Bikes sold to Uber, Briefcam sold to Canon, Argus sold to Continental, Crosswise sold to Oracle, and Replay sold to Intel.
