Jeff gave me my first job when I dropped out of the Ph.D. program in 2000. We have been working together ever since; on companies like Songbird and Veracode. He was crazy enough to support me as an EIR at Atlas Venture while we were working on Venture Hacks. He is an entrepreneur-friendly investor to the extreme. His secret power is instinctively finding win-win solutions. Get Jeff on your board—I did.

Nivi is rational, honest, and fearless. If you are a road, get underneath him. If you are money, get in his pocket. If you are a wall, get out of his way. I saw him take Venture Hacks from a random idea to the site and blog you see today, through sheer relentlessness. I’d back him on any thing, any day.

I worked with Jeff Fagnan—we’ve been working together since I dropped out of the MIT Ph.D. program in 2000. I couldn’t recommend a better investor—who else would support me while we started Venture Hacks?
