Dave Goldblatt is a venture capital investor at Vibe Capital who openly brands himself around "investing in vibes"—backing founders whose taste, curiosity, and energy attract talent and capital rather than just polished metrics. He bridges deep consumer product experience from a decade at Facebook (starting as employee ~180) with systems-thinking about how exponential technologies reshape society, using his personal website as a "thinking hub" that routes founders to other deep thinkers and curated learning resources for crypto and AI ecosystems.

• Deep technical engagement with the nuances of various Large Language Models. Frequently compares specific model capabilities, such as asserting that GPT-5 Pro is significantly superior to GPT-5 Heavy Thinking, while also benchmarking performance across Gemini and Claude to determine which handles specific tasks like explaining biology best.
• Hands-on development of AI utility tools and workflows. Recently shared a personal project called Total Recall, a curated persistent memory tool built for Claude Code to ensure the AI behaves correctly upon restarting, demonstrating a builder mindset rather than just a check-writer mentality.
• Focus on practical prompt engineering to improve human logic. Advocates for using the prompt asking the AI to walk through its thinking, noting that the value lies in seeing the steps the user might have skipped in their own reasoning process.
• Participation in autonomous AI agent simulations and on-chain environments. Actively posts about progress in gamified ecosystems like Moltbook and Gas Town, tracking the status of his own AI agent in these digital economies.
• Transparency regarding fund structure and capital deployment. Shared candid updates about moving his firm, Vibe Capital, into harvest mode to focus on supporting existing founders rather than raising a new fund, which is crucial context for any founder looking to pitch a new deal.
• Creative application of high-IQ models for leisure and complex analysis. Uses advanced models to analyze fantasy football drafts, dedicating significant compute power to evaluate player stats, showing an interest in the intersection of sports data and artificial intelligence.
