Jason Roys

Bio:

Most people look at a problem and see a problem. Jason Roys looks at a problem and sees an untapped market. It's a skill he's been quietly perfecting for decades — finding hidden gaps between where industries are and where they're inevitably going, and building companies to close them.

Long before regulators mandated it, automotive executives prioritized it, or Wall Street priced it in, Jason was already building MotionSafe. Backed by the ONE Bow River National Defense Fund, this AI-powered vehicle cybersecurity platform is recognized as one of the most critical infrastructure plays of the next decade.

MotionSafe exists because Jason saw what an entire industry refused to acknowledge: 280 million connected vehicles on American roads generating extraordinarily sensitive personal data — location, behavioral patterns, biometric signals, communication metadata — with virtually no protection. In a world where your smartphone has a firewall and your laptop has privacy settings, connected vehicles remain uniquely vulnerable.

Jason didn't wait for the market to catch up. He built the solution first.

But MotionSafe isn't where the story begins. Jason has spent his career as a founder and market architect — identifying hidden opportunities, attracting capital, and building teams around markets the mainstream hadn't priced in yet. From early ventures through his current work at the intersection of AI, connected vehicles, and national defense cybersecurity, the pattern is unmistakable: Jason doesn't enter markets. He creates them.

What makes Jason's story especially compelling for today's audiences is his use of AI at MotionSafe. While the dominant narrative is that AI is eliminating jobs, Jason is using it to create them — scaling a lean founding team to enterprise capability, filing patents, and penetrating government and defense markets. He's building an entirely new job category inside a five-year-old market projected to be worth $21B by 2035. He didn't use AI to replace people. He used it to build an industry.

Jason holds DoD certifications including CISSP and Information Assurance credentials at the highest levels — a combination of technical authority and entrepreneurial credibility few speakers can claim. He has founded and funded companies in markets he helped define, pitched investors on problems that hadn't yet made headlines, and built teams around opportunities the mainstream had overlooked.

When Jason takes the stage, he doesn't talk about disruption in the abstract. He shows audiences exactly how to find the opportunity everyone else missed — and what it takes to be standing there when the world catches up.
