David Smith, Angel Investor

David Smith began investing two decades ago. He focuses on cryptocurrency investments and seed and pre-seed startup investing. The startups he invested in later raised tens of millions of dollars and served millions of users. Before retiring at age 35, David founded or worked as an executive at several early-stage companies, most notably, SPLT, which Bosch purchased in 2017. David values trust in business above all else. A recovered workaholic he now spends time thinking about bucket list items. "I invest in early technology companies with the potential for high growth (100 times increase in valuation over 5-10 years) that I believe will make the world better. I particularly focus on technologies that: - empower people - increase personal freedom."
