Jeff Fluhr

Jeff Fluhr is a Venture Partner at Craft Ventures, according to the firm’s current biography and team listing checked October 25, 2026. He co-founded StubHub in March 2000 and served as its CEO until the 2007 acquisition by eBay. Those ticketing-company roles are historical and distinct from his current investment position; the official title is Venture Partner, not General Partner.

Craft’s biography describes the original idea as a trusted, transparent marketplace where fans could buy and sell concert and sporting-event tickets. That places StubHub in secondary ticketing: its relevance is the exchange of admission already issued, rather than the initial allocation of inventory by a promoter or venue. Marketplace infrastructure changes how buyers and sellers find each other, but it does not by itself establish the platform’s ownership of an event, its primary ticketing contract or an artist relationship.

For 2007, Craft reports more than 400 StubHub employees and more than $600 million in gross merchandise volume. These are company-period statements from Fluhr’s current firm, not audited figures reproduced here as personal wealth. Gross merchandise volume describes the value transacted through a marketplace and must not be relabelled company revenue. This record connects the early marketplace-building history to Live Index’s existing resale and fee references, where the amount a buyer pays, the seller’s proceeds and platform charges are treated separately. No current StubHub office or complete investment portfolio is inferred from cofounder status.
