After graduating from Lehigh University in 1981, Schaufeld sold extended warranties to auto dealers while going through law school. When he learned his employer hadn’t actually taken out policies on all his clients, Schaufeld quit his classes and went into business for himself, creating National Electronics Warranty. In 2008, the company was acquired by Asurion.
In 2006, Schaufeld partnered with Cliff White and Tony Nader to form a company initially known as SWaN Investors. The venture capital firm’s investments have included Cava, Custom Ink and Kind Healthy Snacks.
Schaufeld is also a partner in Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Washington Capitals and the Washington Wizards. Additionally, Schaufeld is a partner in the long-delayed Hill Top House Hotel project in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
Schaufeld sits on numerous company boards, including DuraStat and Telos. He also serves on the Wolf Trap Foundation’s board and is an emeritus member of the Inova Health Foundation Board of Trustees.
