Neil invests in companies that improve people's lives. He primarily focuses on companies using deep technologies and those in the healthcare, financial services, and education sectors. Neil is also an advisor to Upsolve, a bankruptcy nonprofit that has helped individuals clear hundreds of millions of dollars of primarily medical debt, and to Copia, a venture-backed technology company that has delivered over three million meals to people in need.

Necessary Ventures invests $250-500k into pre-seed companies across a wide range of industries (ClimateTech, FinTech, MedTech, BioTech). We help founders hire talent, find additional capital from angels/VCs and other often more aligned sources, and leverage their narratives for earned and owned media instead of paid media.
