David DeWolf, Angel Investor

I’ve been an angel investor since 2016, when DeWolf Family Ventures made our first angel investment in a wearables company called Valencell. Valencell and its founder, Dr. Steven LeBoeuf, showed great promise in a rapidly growing space. DeWolf Family Ventures has gone on to back several other companies in the six years since that initial investment in Valencell, and there are a total of 6 current ventures that we’ve felt so strongly about that we’ve chosen to invest in them. Many more opportunities have been put in front of me that just haven’t felt right. I’m a big believer in investing only in companies that operate in areas that you know and understand. Early-stage tech companies are in that sweet spot for me, and it’s why I’ve invested in companies like InGo, Inco-Check, Capango, and Gravy Stack in addition to Valencell. My comfort zone with early-stage tech companies comes in no small part because of the time I’ve spent building from scratch a digital product development company, 3Pillar Global.
