STARTUP QUESTIONS ANSWERED.Startups are hard work. Resources are scarce, time is tight and you're often working in uncharted territory. When everything is going great, there's nothing better. But sometimes you have an issue that you'd like to discuss with someone. Or maybe you just have a general startup question. Getting perspectives from entrepreneurs and investors who have built successful startups can be invaluable in those cases. That's where FounderLine comes in.

Not so long ago, in 1990 upon college graduation, David went exploring. He built his own houseboat and rafted it down the Mississippi. A few years later, he merged his sense of adventure with musicality when he toured as a professional bass player. David displays the same spirit and energy to his current 20-year career as an entrepreneur, tech executive and angel.
David joined Maveron’s San Francisco office in 2012 to help identify new investments in Web companies that have the potential to become leading consumer brands. He sourced and led investments in August Home, Aria and Darby Smart. He serves on their boards. David appreciates what it’s like to be in the shoes of innovators —and you’ll often find him coaching entrepreneurs at top Bay Area incubators such as Y Combinator, AngelPad, 500 Startups, and Stanford’s StartX. His close ties to the Silicon Valley entrepreneurial community have led him to invest personally in nearly 30 start-ups, including Practice Fusion, Postmates, SeatMe, Beautylish, and Tile. A Bay Area native, David holds degrees in electrical engineering and economics from Stanford. |
