I’ll always remember an evening in Seattle when Dave took me out for dinner. He ordered us a couple of beers, saying it was the best way to start a good conversation. Over a brilliant meal, he shared how he began his journey, the challenges he faced, and the milestones that shaped his career.

What stood out was the passion in his voice — the pride in backing entrepreneurs, the genuine interest in their dreams, and the belief that people mattered as much as ideas. That night, he told me how much he believed in me and my vision, and that he would always stand by me.

Those words became a source of strength. When times were tough, Dave reminded me why we started. He backed us against all odds and did so with kindness, respect, and humility.

He wasn’t just an investor — he was a mentor, a believer, and a true partner in our journey. Thank you, Dave, for everything you did for me and for Eduvanz/WiZR. We will always miss you and work to make you proud.
