Eric M. Jackson is a technology executive and award-winning author who played a critical role in building PayPal and subsequently created multiple successful technology businesses.
Currently, Jackson is the CEO of CapLinked, whose virtual-data-room software was called the “go-to place for setting up and closing deals” by the Wall Street Journal. CapLinked’s clients include Roche, EY, Hess, FTI Consulting, Takeda, Piper Sandler, and Raymond James.
Jackson is also the CEO of TransitNet, an early-stage company that builds software to assist with title verification for cryptocurrencies.
Early in his career, Jackson was recruited by Peter Thiel to join the startup team at PayPal, where he oversaw its product marketing efforts. With the young company burning millions each month, Jackson was placed in charge of implementing PayPal’s transaction-based revenue model, which turned around its fortunes. During Jackson’s time at PayPal, the company grew from 2,500 users to 25 million, went public, and was acquired by eBay.
Additionally, Jackson founded a venture called World Ahead Media that he grew to profitability and sold, and has served on the boards of several organizations, including CritiqueIt, a software company later acquired by 2U, Inc. (NASDAQ: TWOU).

About CapLinked

Thousands of companies in over 113 countries worldwide rely on CapLinked’s enterprise, self-serve, and API product lines. Eric M. Jackson (PayPal’s first head of US marketing) and Christopher Grey (former private equity and investment banking executive) founded the company in 2010. CapLinked is a trademark of CapLinked, Inc.
