David Mandel

Managing Partner
2019
Emerging Ventures invests in emerging technology startups. Visit https://emerging.vc for full details. After my last exit from operations, immersed myself full-time into the tech start-up eco-system. After several years, reviewing thousands of start-ups, investing in a few hundred, and participating in numerous events, narrowed my focus to emerging tech. To allow others to join me on my deals I formalized my investment vehicle as a fund. Accredited investor, please DM me for more info on how to join me on this adventure, investing in a diversified portfolio of early stage emerging technology start-ups.
