Daniel Clemens

Daniel Clemens is a serial entrepreneur living in San Francisco. His first foray into entrepreneurship was at the age of 5, when he collected and sold flowers door-to-door in his Los Angeles neighborbood. His last company, AppJet, created real-time collaboration products and was acquired by Google in 2010. Daniel has been a Senior Manager at Google for the past two years working on a variety of early stage products. Before that, Daniel was CEO and Co-Founder of an international education and technology company and also worked with a team of global value investors who managed over $1.2 billion dollars for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Daniel was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, where he pursued a doctorate and had the pleasure of playing on the grass courts of Wimbledon and Queen’s Club as a Varsity member of the Oxford Men’s Tennis Team. Daniel’s thesis at Oxford focused on social networking technologies and the formation of new social capital-- the final chapter is still yet to be written. Prior to Oxford, Daniel graduated Phi Beta Kappa with distinction from Yale University, earning both a B.A. and M.A in the space of four years, winning the prize for best thesis in the social sciences, and was honored as one of the top 20 leaders and scholars in America by USA Today.

Daniel has long been dedicated to public service, leading and serving organizations both domestically and abroad, as well as serving on international advisory boards. Daniel has had the privilege of being an invited speaker at conferences around the globe and enjoys hosting idea hackathons, angel investing, and bringing great people together for anything that combines fun and fulfillment.
