    Working with Dave

    A limited number of new advisees each year. Here's what that looks like.

    Is this you?

    • AI-native, not AI-added

      The business model only works because of AI. Not AI as a feature bolted on — AI as the core.

    • The right domain

      Marketing, CX, personalization, healthcare, or financial services. These are the arenas where Dave's network creates the most leverage.

    • Early stage

      Pre-seed through Series B. Early enough that strategic guidance materially changes the trajectory.

    • A real working relationship

      Dave isn't available for logo placement. Founders who want a genuine thinking partner, not a name on a deck.

    What you get

    • Strategic clarity

      Sharper positioning, a cleaner wedge into enterprise buyers, and the ability to speak the language CMOs and CROs actually use. Dave has been on both sides of the table.

    • Network access

      Direct connections to marketing and technology leaders across financial services, healthcare, retail, and B2B. If an appropriate introduction exists, he makes it.

    • Investor bridge

      Through his seat on the Glasswing Ventures advisory board, Dave surfaces promising companies to an AI-focused VC, helps with due diligence, and helps founders navigate the funding landscape.

    Dave takes on a limited number of new advisees each year.

    Where former portfolio companies landed.

    Dave's former portfolio includes companies that have been acquired, gone public, or reached unicorn valuations.
