Jesse and Dave met Ayr, Clover’s founder, a few weeks after he opened his first food truck in Kendall Square in 2008. When Clover added trucks and then restaurants, Ayr engaged Jesse (through the law office he operated until 2013) to work on leases and license agreements. Jesse has been involved in all of Clover’s real estate deals since 2009, first as its lawyer, and now through Graffito as Clover’s real estate advisor and broker.
