Niv Dror

Managing Partner, Shrug Capital

About

Niv Dror broke into venture capital through an unconventional path of creating detailed written summaries of startup talks and founder wisdom rather than coming from the typical banking, consulting, or founder background. He built Shrug Capital directly from his online following after describing it as a tweet turned into a $3M venture fund, using his internet presence and experience running social media at Product Hunt and marketing at AngelList to help early-stage founders with distribution and community building.
