Jason Beckman

Jason Beckman is co-founder and Managing Partner of Colbeck Capital Management, a New York-based hybrid-credit boutique. Before Colbeck, he was at Goldman Sachs in the Hybrid Lending Group. He co-founded Colbeck with Jason Colodne, also formerly of Goldman.

Colbeck’s $362 million in secured debt at approximately 24% interest financed Fabian Thylmann’s 2010 acquisition of Mansef (which became Manwin, then MindGeek). The financing was the structural pivot for the contemporary online-pornography platform consolidation: it bootstrapped the aggregator-platform business model by providing capital that mainstream Wall Street firms would not directly extend to the industry. The Brown Rudnick Fleites v. MindGeek federal racketeering complaint names Colbeck Capital among the defendants.
