More about Jeel Patel

Jeel Patel is an ardent entrepreneur deeply immersed in the technology and software sectors. At the tender age of 20, he established InvoiceOwl, a software aimed at simplifying the invoicing and estimating processes for contractors. This initiative stemmed from his keen observations of the significant challenges contractors encountered with invoicing, coupled with his determination to address these issues with a strong, user-friendly solution. Recently, at 23, Jeel witnessed a major milestone in his career—the acquisition of InvoiceOwl.

Throughout his tenure at InvoiceOwl, Jeel had the remarkable chance to collaborate with DevRev, a Silicon Valley-based company renowned for its pioneering approach to customer relations and development, backed by the respected Vinod Khosla. His period at DevRev was profoundly educational, providing him opportunities to engage with and learn from industry leaders like Dheeraj Pandey, whose insights have been crucial in shaping his business and technological acumen.

Currently, Jeel is dedicated to advancing his newest endeavor, Upper, a platform crafted to boost business operations via innovative software solutions. In a relatively short period, Upper has reached an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $500,000, reflecting the team's hard work and commitment to delivering value to their customers.

He continually seeks to learn from everyone around him, adapt, and apply the best practices garnered from his experiences.
