Story
David graduated from McGill and got his first look at markets as a summer analyst at BMO Capital Markets, then at Bloomberg, before heading to San Francisco. At Mithril Capital Management, the global technology fund founded by Peter Thiel and Ajay Royan, he worked on the investment team, weighing unusual opportunities other funds would not touch and supporting portfolio companies. He now splits his time between DVx Ventures, where he shapes how the firm evaluates and forms new ventures, and VistaShares, where he works as an investment strategist on thematic funds.
