David Friedman is a longtime angel investor, and he became President of Tech Coast Angels’ Orange County chapter just recently. He has a plan to increase TCA’s engagement and member base, and we talked more about that in our conversation.
He’s also been a businessman and executive for technology, software, cloud, and service companies, with a passion for customer loyalty and building a success culture that makes employees enjoy working there. He also has developed what he calls “customer jujitsu” while helping companies bridge technology and business into an innovation mindset.
David has commercialized more than $1.5 billion in new products during his career and also worked internationally across Europe and Asia.
He builds businesses, he invests in and teaches the next generation of business leaders, and he gives back to executives and students at Camp Pendleton, UC Irvine’s Merage School of Business, and UCI Beall Applied Innovation.
