J.D. Davids, Managing Director, SmartMoney Startups
J.D. is one of the most accomplished startup dealmakers in the world. J.D. has served on the management teams of 8 VC backed startups and 3 of those companies completed successful IPOs and 3 of them were acquired by large corporations. He has completed well over $1 Billion in financial transactions over the last 25 years.

J.D. currently serves as Managing Partner of SmartMoney Startups, where he has dedicated his career to being a “ Sherpa” to help thousands of entrepreneurs raise money, build great companies, and close exit events that generate huge financial and impactful returns. As a Startup Sherpa, J.D. and his team deliver a unique combination of workshops, best practice templates and group coaching events both live and online, and 70% have successfully raised money. Companies that work closely with J.D. experience a transformation from being merely good entrepreneurs into some of the most savvy strategic dealmakers in the startup ecosystem today.
