About
Evan Zimmerman is a venture capital investor at Jovono who started as a hands-on patent operator before becoming an investor, giving him deep practical IP experience that he uses as a core value-creation tool for portfolio companies rather than just legal protection. Unlike most VCs, he simultaneously runs his own Y Combinator-backed startup (Edge, an AI assistant for patent practitioners) while actively investing, and he focuses on small but fast-growing markets rather than chasing already-large opportunities.
