About Me

Elliott Fisher is an operator, writer and investor. Since 2017, he’s worked in fast-growing companies, venture-backed tech companies. He enjoys working in early-stage companies for the reasons why most people don’t - he enjoys building systems and tools, and going from 0-1. Currently, he works at an AI startup, where he manages the day-to-day business operations (e.g. people, finance, legal, compliance) and translates Company strategy into actionable plans.

His background includes two Chief of Staff roles, in both early- and growth-stage companies, where he developed and executed special projects and fostered cohesion across teams by owning strategic planning, communications and executive operations (e.g. Board, C-suite).

In addition to his career in startups, in 2020 Elliott co-founded Green's View Realty, a real estate investment & management company with $1M AUM. At GVR he oversees acquisitions, asset & property management.

Elliott has a BA in English from Sewanee: The University of the South, and studied accounting at The University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign.
