Ken Howery helps run Founders Fund – the first founder-focused venture capital firm. The firm, whose partners are all former entrepreneurs, has over $500 million under management and has invested in over 50 companies. Ken has led or co-led investments in a number of companies at Founders Fund including Facebook, Quantcast, and ZocDoc.

Prior to Founders Fund, Ken co-founded PayPal, where he was the first CFO.

Ken also was a partner with Peter Thiel in his private venture investing, helping diligence deals, including the Series A investment in Facebook. His work as a venture capitalist with a founder-friendly approach has now been recognized widely in the press, including the WSJ, Forbes, and Fortune.
