Jonathan Fishman is the Founder of Bizydev, a boutique, founder-led business development firm focused on helping companies grow through thoughtful, relationship-driven strategies across customers, partners, and capital.

With more than 20 years of experience as an owner, operator, and strategic partner, Jonathan has spent his career identifying opportunity, advancing growth initiatives, and creating long-term value across a range of industries. He founded Bizydev in 2019 to provide a more intentional approach to business development, one grounded in judgment, relevance, and follow-through rather than volume or transactional outreach.

Through Bizydev, Jonathan works directly with founders, operators, and leadership teams to develop targeted growth strategies, facilitate high-context introductions, and remain actively involved as opportunities move from initial conversations through execution.

Jonathan is known for his ability to connect the right people and ideas at the right time, helping opportunities progress through trust, clarity, and sustained engagement.

He holds a master’s degree from New York University and an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Outside of Bizydev, Jonathan values time with his family, building and maintaining meaningful relationships, and sharing perspective with others. He is an avid sports fan and enjoys golf, running, and long walks through Central Park.
