Clint Korver is the co-founder and Managing Director of Ulu Ventures, a Palo Alto-based seed-stage venture firm where he previously worked as a serial entrepreneur co-founding four decision-making startups and holds a PhD in engineering from Stanford. His investment thesis targets early-stage Enterprise Cloud and Smart Data companies, primarily from the Stanford and Silicon Valley communities, with a focus on B2B software, AI, machine learning, and fintech. Korver and his partner have invested in over 90 startups, emphasizing that data value lies in enabling better decisions rather than sheer volume, a philosophy he calls “smart data”. Notable portfolio companies include Palantir, SoFi, Krux (acquired by Salesforce), and Blue River Technology (acquired by John Deere), with 50 of the firm’s investments originating from the Stanford community. Korver distinguishes his approach by advocating for disciplined thinking frameworks that account for uncertainty rather than relying on big data. He is also a Kauffman Fellow, co-authored the book *Ethics for the Real World*, and regularly teaches entrepreneurship and ethical decision-making at Stanford.
