Faces of the NM Angels: Meet David

At New Mexico Angels, we believe investing is personal. Behind every check, pitch, and startup success is a real person – someone who believes in the power of ideas and in the future of our state.

Faces of NM Angels is a video series spotlighting the people who help make our community great. In each 1–2 minute video, you’ll meet members and friends who share why they’re involved, what they’re passionate about, and what makes New Mexico’s startup ecosystem different.

Meet David, a NM Angels board member and active angel investor. In this video, he shares how he found his way into angel investing after retiring from a career where he loved helping companies grow:

When I retired, I wanted to get back to that, to enjoy it vicariously, seeing other companies grow. So I got involved with the New Mexico Angels, started investing, and it’s just been a lot of fun.

Right now, between the Angels and between the Vintage Fund, I’m invested in something like 32 companies and only a couple of them have actually gone under in the three years I’ve been involved, which is amazing, and a few of them are on the verge of doing extraordinarily well. So, it’s risky going in, but so far it’s looking pretty good.
