About David

I’ve spent the better part of 20 years helping companies grow, with four startups being ultimately acquired:

  • Silicon Grail/Rayz by Apple (Special FX/Compositing)

  • Dynamics Direct by Alterian (Online Personalization/Marketing)

  • Velocify by Ellie Mae (Lead Generation)

  • Kanopy Insurance by Everquote (Insurance)

I was also the first resident designer hired by Brian Lee to help grow Legalzoom to the successful business it is today (evaluated at $2 billion + in today’s market).
