John Melas-Kyriazi

John Melas-Kyriazi is the co-founder and CEO of Standard Metrics, a San Francisco financial data platform that automates reporting between venture investors and their portfolio companies. A Stanford-trained engineer who once tinkered with guitar pedals in his basement, he spent six years investing at Spark Capital before noticing that the venture industry ran its data on spreadsheets and email. He left to fix it, building a networked system where startups and investors collaborate on the same numbers. He is also an active angel investor in 40-plus companies.
