David Willbrand's Linkedin Analytics

I am an experienced chief legal officer, tech executive, trusted advisor, and deal lawyer with over 25 years’ experience in the boardroom – and in the trenches. Before joining Pacaso (a tech unicorn) as its first Chief Legal Officer, I founded, grew, and chaired one of the most prominent tech and venture capital legal practices in the Midwest. For over a decade, I have also provided both structured instruction and informal mentorship to entrepreneurs at the Harvard Innovation Labs and through Techstars, where I am an Entrepreneur-in-Residence with its Silicon Valley program. I also teach courses on Startups & Venture Capital at the University of Michigan Law School, and I am the author of “Seed Deals: How to Grow from Startup to Venture Capital” (a practical guide to matters of capitalization and fundraising, designed for founders, law students, and new lawyers).
