Jonathan Fassberg BS, MBA

Jonathan Fassberg is a visionary entrepreneur who recognized early in his 20-year career that small-cap biotechnology companies were underserved in an investor relations capacity. To fill this void, Mr. Fassberg founded The Trout Group, the leading investor relations firm in the life sciences industry, and serves as Chief Executive Officer. Trout has served over 250 public and private companies from its six offices around the world. Trout’s clients also had challenges accessing capital, leading Mr. Fassberg to start Trout Group’s sister company, Trout Capital LLC, in 2004 to assist clients in a financial advisory role.

Prior to founding Trout in 1996, Jonathan was a sell-side analyst at a healthcare-focused investment bank. Before his career on Wall Street, Jonathan spent four years at DuPont Pharma in various sales and marketing positions.

Jonathan holds a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and chemistry from The University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill and a Master of Business Administration degree in finance from New York University’s Stern School of Business. He also holds Series 7, 24, 79 and 63 securities licenses.

Jonathan has been an active member of Young Presidents Organization since joining the Manhattan Chapter in 2007 and is currently serving as Chapter Chair. He also sits on the board of directors for the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies at UNC.
