David Roos is a venture capital investor at Core Innovation Capital who combines rare experience as both a former government bond trader at Morgan Stanley and a policy expert at the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Debt Management, giving him deep market and regulatory knowledge for investing in highly regulated fintech and healthtech companies. He focuses on missionary founders building frontier technology to alleviate major life stressors like overwhelming debt and healthcare costs, and actively writes about the macro and policy implications connecting elections, regulation, and AI systems to emerging startup opportunities.

Notable Investments
Core Innovation Capital ties 100% of team bonuses and 10% of partner carry to a quantified impact score measuring consumer savings and demographics, while running detailed audits that reported $67B in cumulative consumer value by 2020—an unusually hard-wired impact measurement system for a VC fund. They focus exclusively on "unlocking wealth and health for the mass market" through fintech investments, maintaining deep regulatory relationships and seeking mission-driven "misfit" founders while operating under a zero-tolerance policy for regulatory arbitrage.
