J Cronin is a founder, operator and builder with over 25 years of experience across technology, infrastructure, media and creative enterprise. Based at Studio Eighty7 in Upton, Northamptonshire, Jon leads the Kaptivated Group — a privately-held portfolio of digital and technology businesses spanning web design, managed IT, SaaS, SEO, radio, music and events.
Beginning his career in IT infrastructure, Jon developed deep expertise across networking, systems architecture, cloud platforms and hybrid identity — knowledge he has applied not just as a practitioner but as a product builder, turning internal systems into client-facing services. His operating principle: think it once, build it twice, sell it forever.
Jon is the sole architect and operator of K4o5, Dragonfly IT, Kaptivated, Kaptive, XooDoo, Studio 87, D-N-B & Bulldog London — building each brand simultaneously with enterprise-grade infrastructure on a founder's budget.
