Background

Jason Goozh is a Washington DC-Baltimore area real-estate finance and construction professional. Public profiles and listings identify him as a principal at BlueWater Funding, BlueWater Financial Partners, and BlueWater Development, with BlueWater activity dating to 2006 and BlueWater Development activity reported from 2009. Better Business Bureau records list Bluewater Funding LLC as a financial-services business started on April 3, 2006, with Jason Goozh as managing partner and principal contact.

Before BlueWater, Goozh worked in commercial real estate and finance roles. Contact databases list him as chief investment officer at Horizon Properties from 2001 to 2005, senior associate at Reznick Group / CohnReznick from 2000 to 2001, and senior associate in the real-estate group at Aronson & Company / Aprio Rockville from 1995 to 2000. His education is listed as University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business and University of Delaware.

BlueWater appears to have operated as a private real-estate lender and investment platform rather than a traditional venture-capital fund. Public lender listings describe Bluewater Funding as an asset-based lender offering commercial loans, fix-and-flip loans, hard-money refinancing, and bridge loans across DC, Virginia, and Maryland. A 2014 SEC Form D for BWF Private Loan Fund LLC names Jason Goozh as a related person and signer, with the issuer categorized under “Investing.”

More recently, Goozh is publicly associated with Makara Builders, an ADU-focused builder in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Makara’s government-contracting page lists Jason Goozh as manager and point of contact, and The Baltimore Banner quoted him in 2026 on Maryland’s ADU market.
