David Wu is a former repeat consumer-tech founder who explicitly frames his investing approach as "serial entrepreneur first, investor second," bringing unusually deep operator experience to his venture capital role at Maveron. He specializes in consumer experiences at the intersection of software, hardware, and services, actively seeking category-defining companies where the consumer brand relationship serves as the true moat rather than the technology itself.
