American entrepreneur, businessman, and angel investor. After
several years in investment banking and private equity, Friedberg
joined Google in March 2004 as one of the first 1,000 employees and
a founding member of Google’s Corporate Development group. As
Corporate Development and Business Product Manager, Friedberg
helped run Google's online advertising platform, AdWords, and
negotiated acquisitions and worked with Google co-founder Larry
Page. David appears each week as one of the four Besties on
the @allin Podcast - one of Apple and Spotify’s Top
podcasts — alongside fellow investors and pundits David Sacks,
Chamath Palihapitiya, and Jason Calicanis. He founded and was chief
executive of The Climate Corporation, whose $1.1 billion sale to
Monsanto in 2013 made it the first unicorn (finance) in the

Spanning his career, he has contributed to 32 patents. His
investment portfolio includes Afterparty, Dave, The Every Company,

discussion, the indefatigable Friedberg weighs in entrepreneurship
styles, investing, how to incentivize research and the problems
with commercialization of institutional research. David provides
some rare insight into his strategies for his almost superhuman
productivity, his venture capital philosophy for successful
investments, a tutorial on the microbiome, his thoughts on AI and
so much more! twitter.com/friedberg www.tpb.co
