David Horowitz was the first person Comcast hired for its venture arm around 2000, and he later helped pioneer the idea of offering venture capital as a service to companies, personally handling all of Touchdown Ventures' finance from its founding through its merger into Cerity Partners Ventures. Beyond investing, he teaches venture capital at Michigan Ross, advises Michigan Football's MPower initiative, sits on the board of the National Football Foundation, and even created the board game Frequent Flyer.

Cerity Partners Ventures pioneered a venture-capital-as-a-service model that lets corporations keep control of their venture programs while the firm co-manages strategy, governance, diligence, and even M&A, and it has been recognized for launching and managing more corporate venture funds than any other firm. It built this into a broad platform, partnering with over 25 corporations across sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and industrials, and later joined the wealth management firm Cerity Partners to expand these services and give its private clients more access to startups.
