Note from Jean Hammond
I am one of the most active angel investors in New England, with a proven track record of pinpointing trends and marketplaces, and identifying great companies and entrepreneurs against that backdrop. I have personally invested in over 100 companies in a range of technology industries, but sometimes invest through funds as well. I wrote the first check into ZipCar, which IPO’d in 2011, and exited BzzAgent to Dunnhumby, TenMarks to Amazon, and others. Over the past 10 years, I’ve dedicated myself to building startup ecosystems that significantly contribute to Boston entrepreneurship: The Capital Network (TCN) to provide education and community around the funding process; Golden Seeds Boston (co-founder) to fund female founders; and LearnLaunch to support EdTech entrepreneurs with classes, co-working space and an accelerator. Effective and willing to work on infrastructure for the long run and to drive value into company after company. My background as a serial entrepreneur well positions me to roll up my sleeves as a mentor, advisor and board member. Earlier in my career, I founded AXON Networks, which was acquired by 3Com, served as CEO at Quarry Technologies and interim CEO at JAM Technologies.

I syndicate when the allocation is large enough or when an existing group is not leading. I especially want to find edtech investors for my deals.
