About
David Mort brings an adventurer's mindset to venture capital, shaped by building dog-sled trails in Denali and explicitly comparing his work backing founders to modern-day gold prospecting in unknown territory. He regularly posts requests for startups on X with precise check sizes and themes, creating an unusually open door to cold outreach while emphasizing that too much credit goes to venture firms versus founders.
