Jeff Clavier - AngelList

I invest in 20+ startups @ $400K a year

How I like to add value

Jeff is amazing, highly knowledgeable in many areas. He is a veteran.

— Founder of a company Jeff took an intro to
Any startup should try to get 15 minutes with Jeff. No matter if he invests or not, he will have amazing feedback and even intro you to other investors. He has a clearly defined focus area (outlined on his site) and he is selective, however, he will also tell you if it it is for him in the meeting.
