Jeffrey Silverman — CEO
HEADS UP: I am always open to meeting new people through Linkedin BUT DO NOT JUST ASK TO CONNECT WITH ME BLINDLY. The best way to reach me directly is via email (Jeffrey@LaconiaCapitalGroup DOT com) or on Twitter (@jsilverman22). -------- With more than 20 years of experience building and investing in early-stage companies, Jeffrey has built his career around scaling tech ventures with intention. He was an early employee at DoubleClick, holding senior roles across the business, and later served as President of Integrated Color Solutions. For the past decade, Jeffrey has been building Laconia Capital Group as its co-founder and managing director, investing in enterprise SaaS, fintech, health tech, e-commerce, and martech. Laconia works closely with founders to refine business models, accelerate sales, and build smart capital strategies. He also advises AutoFi, sits on the board of Propensity, and stays close to several portfolio companies as an active observer, including Marpipe, WeStock, Trestle, and Tender. Mentorship is a big part of his approach—Jeffrey hosts open office hours to help founders and early operators navigate the early-stage grind. Beyond Laconia, he co-founded 3SE Holdings, focused on crypto and digital infrastructure, and the Proteus Collection, an art investment venture. He serves on the board of the New Orleans French Quarter Festival and co-founded Friends of the Lake, a grassroots environmental organization in Connecticut. A Bostonian at heart and a devoted Boston sports fan—despite 35+ years in NYC—Jeffrey is a proud father of three grown children, all of whom he’s pleased to report are Boston sports fans too.
