Neil Devani

Founder and Managing Partner, Necessary Ventures

About

Neil Devani brings an unusually multi-disciplinary background to venture capital, having worked on the Affordable Care Act in the U.S. Senate, attended medical school at Drexel University, completed a JD at Stanford Law School, and earned a BS from Penn State, which gives him policy, healthcare, legal, and technical exposure when evaluating investments. He hosts his own venture podcast "Money Moves with Neil Devani" where he personally interviews founders, investors, and operators, positioning himself as both investor and educator rather than just appearing as a guest on others' shows.
