San Francisco Bay Area
I am passionate about technology, business and the entrepreneurial eco-system as it relates to start-ups, venture capital and angel investing. As an active angel/venture investor and a member of Sand Hill angels, I look to invest and work with great founding teams that are harnessing cutting edge technology to deliver great products and services and that will result in significant outcomes to all stake holders. Prior to my angel/venture investing career, I was involved in 6 startups where I was either an early employee or founder, 4 of which had exits, and 2 that shutdown. This experience in the start-up world is what has driven me to stay involved in the San Francisco Bay Area start-up eco-system as an investor in start-ups as well as an advisor and mentor to entrepreneurs. Since 2012, my startup investment portfolio has grown to more than 350 portfolio companies. A partial list of my investments can be found on my profile page on the Angel List web-site: https://angel.co/abenmeir-me-com Please note that I receive many messages from my connections on LinkedIn. Unfortunately, I am not able to respond to all of them.
