David Mann Startup Advisor & Innovation Specialist

Having placed over a thousand funding deals in my career with a 99.99% closure rate, I’m the “go-to guy”, especially when it’s new, innovative, under-performing, in need of strategic review or pivot, and if it has been turned down by “the usual suspects”. Having successfully delivered 6 extremely difficult, lean startups and numerous "impossible" projects over 25 years, I'm the guy people call for the best results, and especially when others can't help. Personally proven at taking “concepts” to fully developed businesses and market-leading brands, I'm experienced at zeroing in on what will deliver immediate results for stakeholders. An experienced negotiator, whether multi-billion dollar funding lines, innovative debt and hybrid instruments, new funding programs and products, $300m+ government projects, corporate tenders of $30m+, or business critical market and partnering agreements, I know how to deliver! Give me a call.
