Summary
My most recent work includes executive corporate development experience at a fast growing Series C-stage startup and previously as a venture capitalist in ground transportation, AI, marketplaces and network effects, sharing economy, travel, and other areas in both B2B and B2C. My exits from angel investments (returns of 4-26x, with unrealized returns up to 271x) include Grove Collaborative (NYSE: GROV), LoungeBuddy (acquired by American Express), Beanworks (acquired by Quadient), Fishbowl (acquired by Glassdoor), and Kanvas (acquired by Verizon); other active angel investments listed below. Achieved additional exits (up to 14x) including multiple IPOs from my institutional investments at Tandem Capital and Autotech Ventures. I am a contributing author to Techcrunch and Forbes and frequent interviewee by the media about startups and investment theory (over 150 interviews). In addition to VC and corporate development experience I have worked as a Fortune 500 product executive and founder/CEO of a venture-backed travel marketplace. Additional personal background is on my Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Hoffer Excited for the future!
