About David Straus

Experienced software focused entrepreneur and executive. Worked in organization from day-1 startups to public fortune 500.Educated in business but started as a s/w engineer. Have run engineering, marketing and business development multiple times. Have sold and supported small and large sales teams. Have won in both B2B and B2C environments. Current focus on general management and Product. Love, love, love Product. Customer, competition, sales, innovation, user-centered design and exceptional user experience. A broad set of experience has helped me to look at Product from all sides of the business, customer and market. Have also put my experience to work as an angel investor. Have an evergreen fund that I co-manage with a longtime friend/colleague. Always interested in hearing about interesting deals.Things I tend to focus on or have recently done;- Revenue.. Outside of a few exceptional environments, this is the huge clue to customer value.- Actual Business Results.. I’m jazzed when we meet or beat our goals. And this can happen without blowing off life. - Building Team.. Love building and mentoring teams. I stretch my teams. And people who work for me tend to do it again, and comment on their growth.- Data Science.. Spent much of the last 5 years here (which takes me back to my roots). I have a significant depth and passion for machine learning, NLP, and predictive analytics along with broad statistical approach. Data science forms both the base of many products/features and the behavioral analysis that can transform how product interacts with customers. Like many relatively new love for generative AI and LLM's and their application as a significant accelerator to more classic AI methods. - SaaS and Mobile.. - Doing agile well..- Fixing things that are broken or not working well (often really, really broken)..- Business Vision and Strategy.. I get told I should make this a full time job..- Learning..- Having fun and laughing while doing the above..

  • Plumkeeper
    Co-Founder
    Plumkeeper Mar 2008 - Jun 2009
    Worked with a friend on a startup focused on pictures and family. Our thesis was that families (especially mom's) wanted a place to keep/organize and share moments. They were doing this for themselves, their circle of family/friends and for their kids (archivist). Further FB was too open for many families. In the end, we didn't get critical mass to drive the business. We have been watching this space for many years now and many companies have tried, but nobody has found the formula (other than FB)..
