About Geoff Donaker

Geoff Donaker spent over a decade as Yelp's COO after joining as employee #10, helping grow the company from essentially zero to hundreds of millions in revenue through IPO, giving him an early-operator to public-company COO experience that's rare among venture investors. He built Burst Capital from his own angel investing before turning it into an early-stage fund, positioning himself as the call-us-when-it's-hard investor that founders can ask have you seen this before based on his experience living through nearly every startup stage.
