Jane Karpis

Jane Karpis is a New York–based private-markets investor who currently serves as a Principal and Vice President at Hunter Creek Advisors LLC, a single family office where she focuses on private investments. She holds FINRA registration (BrokerCheck CRD #6286448), consistent with a career spent in institutional investing and private capital.

Earlier, Karpis was an Associate at Crestview Partners (roughly 2018–2020), the New York private equity firm founded in 2004 that manages funds with more than $9 billion of aggregate capital commitments and invests across media, financial services, industrials, and oil & gas. During her time there she was associated with Crestview's media franchise, including the firm's ownership of Industrial Media — an independent television production group holding interests in franchises such as *American Idol* and *So You Think You Can Dance* through companies like Sharp Entertainment, IPC, and 19 Entertainment. Crestview ultimately exited Industrial Media via a sale to Sony Pictures Television.

Before Crestview, Karpis worked at Morgan Stanley as an Investment Banking Analyst, doing financial analysis and leveraged finance work. She also serves as a Member of the Board of Directors of ReproTech, Ltd., a company specializing in long-term cryostorage and transportation of reproductive tissues, and has held a board role tied to the Industrial Media investment.

Karpis earned a Bachelor of Arts in Government and Mathematics from Dartmouth College and also studied Political Science and Government at the London School of Economics (LSE).

• Operates in private equity / direct private investments, not seed-stage venture — the "Angel Investors / Seed Round" tag in the source stub is not supported by any primary source and appears to be a data-vendor error.
• At Crestview, her work sat within a middle-market buyout mandate concentrated in media, financial services, industrials, healthcare, and energy — control and structured investments rather than early-stage checks.
• At Hunter Creek Advisors, she focuses on private investments for a single family office, which typically means flexible, opportunistic direct and co-investment capital across private companies.
• Publicly stated personal thesis language could not be verified from primary sources; specifics of check size and mandate for the family office are not disclosed.
