Last updated

Jeremy Knauff is an American entrepreneur, author, TV personality, and Marine Corps veteran who is known for his role in the public relations industry. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

After his military service, Knauff began a career in marketing in 1999. His first business, which was launched that same year, failed. He then faced a life-threatening health crisis in 2013 that destroyed his next business and nearly killed him. This later led to his mission to support fellow veterans struggling with their own challenges. [6]

In 2022, he was tapped to be the host of the reality TV show, Funding Faceoff, where real estate investors pitched to a panel of deal makers, including Kevin Harrington, for potential funding in a SharkTank style format. The show, consisting of 13 episodes, initially aired on multiple networks, including Roku, Amazon, and Samsung TV, but was later put on hold in 2023.

One of Knauff's quotes is, "Failure catches the weak when they put today's comfort over tomorrow's goals," which he says he wrote during a deployment to Bosnia in 1998, while serving in the United States Marine Corps with the 22nd MEU. He says this quote is a testament to the importance of having a mission that's bigger than ourselves.

Knauff is also a columnist at Entrepreneur [7] and Benzinga, [8] and is the author of "School's Out" and "The 'Become a Recognized Authority' Checklist."
