Luke Clancy

Hi, I’m Luke - I’m an explorer, people connector, and entrepreneurial hustler. I’m a sucker for people’s stories + serendipitous adventures. Give me a mountain peak or a rabbit hole and I’m happy.

I like to help high-energy, high-integrity, ‘down’, and smart people win — especially when working on impactful problems. My north star is becoming an honest broker like Ron Conway.

I'm currently growing Origami, deep in the sales craft. On the side, I make curated intro’s + share useful ideas in my newsletter. I live in SF, but I’m Chicago-bred.

I'd like my reputation to be “talk to that guy and you'll leave energized, thinking about something new. Good things will happen (via resources, connections, etc), and it'll generally cost you nothing.”

I love meeting curious, thoughtful, and high-agency people. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
