Neil Devani

Managing Partner, Necessary Ventures

Neil started Necessary to invest in what the world needs. He primarily focuses on technology companies that are increasing access to healthcare, the fight against climate change, and improving the quality of education and financial services.

Neil is an advisor to Upsolve, a nonprofit that has helped relieve Americans of $500M+ of primarily medical debt, and previously to Copia, a venture-backed startup that has delivered millions of meals to people in need while reducing waste and emissions from otherwise unwanted food.

He completed his JD at Stanford Law School after working on the Affordable Care Act in the US Senate, attending medical school at Drexel University, and completing a BS at Pennsylvania State University.
