Jarl Mohn is an American venture capital investor, art collector, and philanthropist, who focuses primarily on startups in the Los Angeles area.

Mohn led the team that transitioned MTV from a 24-hour music-video service to a teen and young adult lifestyle channel, reversing a dramatic ratings decline and resulting in increases in audience and revenue.

He was also founding president and CEO of Liberty Digital (1998-2001), a public company that invested in cable networks, the Internet and online businesses.

[11][12] He has also been a corporate director and advisor to a number of media companies, making direct early-stage angel and seed investments in digital media/technology ventures.

Mohn made over 60 early-stage venture investments, including in StubHub, App Annie, Red Car Wine, FreshPet, Oxygen Media, Bitium and Riot Games.

Under his watch, NPR focused on rebuilding trust with member stations, investing in tentpole newsmagazines Morning Edition, All Things Considered and the burgeoning medium of podcasting.

"[28] NPR and its board hired an outside law firm, Morgan Lewis, to conduct a review of the organization's handling of the harassment allegations against Oreskes.

The Columbia Journalism Review argued that Mohn's handling of the allegations showed that he was more concerned with the appearance of impropriety than the possible harm caused to employees.

[30] He manages The Mohn Family Foundation, which supports philanthropic missions in Los Angeles for social justice, civil liberties (ACLU of Southern California), public radio (NPR, KPCC, KCRW, KPCW in Park City, Utah, and WNYC New York) and the arts[31] (The Hammer Museum and Made In LA Biennial; LA County Museum of Art (Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass), MOCA, LAXART, ICA-LA, and The Getty’s Pacific Standard Time exhibit).
