Jerry Neumann - AngelList

I invest in 5 startups @ $50k a year

How I like to add value

I'm pretty deep in a specific area (take a look at the companies I've invested in and worked at) so I can vet ideas, talk about how things fit into the ecosystem, suggest and introduce potential partners, etc. That's probably my unique value-add, but I've been investing for a while, so I can do the standard investor stuff: business model, hiring, financial, etc.

Jerry is one of the most knowledgeable investors in the online media space and we're proud to have him as an investor in our firm. His insight and advice has been invaluable to me as an entrepreneur as well!

Smart and helpful -- Jerry is also a lot of fun to work with. If I were looking for seed funding again, Jerry would be my first choice, again. No doubts about it.
