The next regular monthly meeting of the Venture Association New Jersey (www.vanj.com), will be held on Tuesday, July 20, at the Marriott Hanover, Whippany, NJ. The featured speaker will be Mark Davis, an Associate at DFJ Gotham Ventures (www.dfjgotham.com), an early-stage venture capital firm based in New York City focused primarily on investments in information technology startups based in the Northeast U.S. and Israel. His topic – Getting a Venture Capitalist to Say "Yes" – is sure to be of great interest to entrepreneurs.
Davis offers a unique perspective on the subject because he is not only a professional venture capitalist but also an active participant in and advisor to several private business groups whose members are interested in all aspects of entrepreneurship. The author of Get Venture, a blog that addresses industry topics and offers guidance to entrepreneurs on how to raise venture capital, Davis is also an occasional contributor to a number of industry news services, including CenterNetworks and Silicon Alley Insider.
Before joining DFJ Gotham, Davis was an active entrepreneur and advisor, the Founder and CEO of Zotspot, an internet search destination, and an advisor to numerous startups.
In addition to his entrepreneurial endeavors, Davis has also been a consultant at both KPMG and Bain & Company, where he advised approximately fifty Fortune 1000 and private equity clients on the strategic and financial attractiveness of acquisition targets representing a cumulative transaction value in excess of $6.5 billion. His background also includes mergers and acquisitions as well as consulting and startup roles with software and Internet companies.
Davis earned his B.A. in Economics, cum laude, at Duke University and his M.B.A. at Columbia Business School, where he was the Early Stage President of the Private Equity and Venture Capital Club (www.cbspevc.com) and an InSITE (http://insiteny.org) Fellow.
