David loves building things with great people.

He always starts with a cause and then moves toward finding a company.

Occasionally, he industry-hops to maximize learning and improve his ability to connect the dots. He never strays away from "impossible-to-solve" problems.

One of the major keys to success is surrounding yourself with people who motivate you to improve and think big. He respects people who are unmistakably authentic, mission-centric and enthusiastic.

He is a proponent of blue ocean strategy.

Ideas are a small part of the battle. Action is everything. He needs to believe in what he does in order to dedicate himself fully to a project.

Strategy and planning win. But, so does intelligent flexibility. He believes creating the "right" culture is fundamental to venture success.
