Before joining Revolution Ventures, David Golden spent 18 years at JPMorgan and Hambrecht & Quist, working on more than 150 deals as a merger advisor, underwriter, and investor, and he later helped start Code Advisors in 2010, an investment bank focused on strategy and finance for tech companies where he served as executive chairman. He joined Revolution back in 2006, years before its 2013 fund launch, and his views on IPOs and the public markets have been featured in outlets like TechCrunch, reflecting a background more rooted in Wall Street and capital markets than most venture investors.

Revolution Ventures, shaped by Steve Case's history as AOL's cofounder, focuses on backing startups outside Silicon Valley in cities across the rest of the country, arguing that Silicon Valley's share of U.S. venture activity is shrinking. Led by David Golden, a former investment banking co-director who helped pioneer OpenIPO, the firm has a track record of early bets on consumer and category-defining companies like LivingSocial, Zipcar, and Wagmo, as well as defense-tech company Anduril, while also showing interest in nontraditional financing paths like SPACs.
