Today we're speaking with Bill Clerico, the founder of newly formed venture firm Convective Capital.
Why he matters: Clerico previously founded WePay, a fintech startup that he ultimately sold to JPMorgan in a deal valued around $400 million in 2017. With Convective Capital's initial $35 million fund, he's planning to write checks around $1.5 million on average to technology companies combating, predicting and preventing wildfires.
