ABOUT DAVE

I’m a serial founder, early stage investor in 150+ companies and am the Director of Entrepreneurship at Columbia University. During my years with Columbia Entrepreneurship I’ve have helped launch the Columbia Startup Lab, the Columbia Design Studio, Startup Law Studio, CTech and a host of new tech programs and curricula throughout the university’s many schools. I’m also an Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship at Columbia Business School where I teach the Greenhouse Accelerator Program and also at Columbia Engineering where I teach Entrepreneurship Bootcamps to incoming Masters students.

My Essays & Writings explore the worlds of entrepreneurship, angel/venture investing, and startups and I’ve been a contributor to multiple publications including Amex OPENForum, Forbes, peHub, and Business Insider, whose SAI group named me both one of the “top 100 most influential New Yorkers in the digital business community” and “one of NYC’s top 100 early stage investors”.
