About David Ventzel

David Ventzel co-runs two VC funds simultaneously as General Partner and publishes a concept-heavy blog where he develops original frameworks like "The Startup Adoption Lifecycle" and theories about founders needing an Original Thesis about the world rather than just product ideas. He encourages founders to actively interview their investors and co-hosts "The VC Trenches" podcast, taking a founder-empowering approach that differentiates him from more traditional investor-centric communication styles.

Overkill Ventures operates as a government-backed accelerator fund that requires international startups to register in Latvia to receive investment, effectively importing global talent into the Baltic ecosystem while focusing specifically on work environment and business efficiency software rather than broad B2B sectors. The fund evolved into a network of sister funds across the Baltics, Nordics, and CEE/CIS regions, creating staged capital pathways for founders from pre-seed through seed while positioning Riga as a gateway for Western European and US founders looking to access Eastern European markets.
