Mr. Hunt is a seasoned technology and investment professional with a principle focus on companies with technologies that can have a positive impact on operational efficiencies, particularly in the public sector markets.

​

Hunt began his career in Washington in the mid 70’s as a U.S. Government scientist. After eight years with the government, Hunt founded “BDS, Incorporated” where he served as CEO for ten years. In 1991, BDS was merged with BTG, Incorporated and Hunt assisted in the integration of the two companies. In 1992, BTG was taken public in a successful offering.

​

Subsequent to his tenure at BDS/BTG, Hunt went to Price Waterhouse where he created the firm’s system integration practice. After two years at PW, Hunt was recruited away with 17 PW colleagues and founded “Ernst & Young Technologies” (EYT), where he was CEO for eight years. EYT was subsequently sold to Cap Gemini and Hunt served as President of Cap Gemini Technologies for two years.

​

After leaving Cap Gemini Technologies, with two colleagues, Hunt founded “The MITA Group” – a Washington-based consultancy focused on public affairs and business strategy. MITA Group executives subsequently merged with other executives from a similar consultancy and formed “nextFEDERAL, Incorporated” where Hunt serves as Managing Partner.

​

Mr. Hunt began his angel investing activities in the mid 1990’s with five investments in area companies. Since those initial investments, Hunt has had over 15 successful exits, and now has an extensive portfolio of over thirty-five companies.

​

Hunt’s investments are in the area of cyber, data center management, social media, mobile applications, sensors and sensor management. Jim serves on the boards of Sensics, Interfolio, Information Security Corporation, iMove, videoNEXT, NextFED, Benchmark Intel, and SpotterRF.
