Very helpful and a great guy

— Founder of a company David invested in
As the head of Techstars NYC, the best tech accelerator in NY by far, David is super well connected and in the center of the start up community in NYC.

I have worked with dave on many deals and also in the context of TechStars. Dave will give you the honest feedback most are afraid to and will go to bat for his companies like few i have seen. @zelkovavc

— Co-investor in company David invested in
David Tisch embodies everything that is being done right in the startup world. Even though we went all the way through to final cuts for TechStars NYC only to get benched as an alternate; afterward Tisch went above and beyond to help RollSale get connected to others that could help us 'do more faster', even though he had no horse in the race. That's a pure and habitual mentor mentality innate to Tisch, that most others have to consciously turn on and off. DO NOT miss an opportunity to get your business in front of this guy.

— Founder of a company David took an intro to
This is my second year as a mentor to Tech Stars, in no small part because David Tisch makes it easy to want to be involved. I've met two of the companies I've invested in through David and TechStars New York. He's one of the best in the business.

— Co-investor in company David invested in
David offers sharp guidance and excellent support. He's always got your back, very entrepreneur-friendly -- he's both an investor and friend, and that is clear from all interactions I've had with him.
