David S. Rose is known to many ACA members for his 30+ years as an active angel investor. He founded both New York Angels and Gust, has written the standard textbooks "Angel Investing" and "The Startup Checklist", and was the first investor and board chairman of companies that have been acquired by Amazon, Uber, S&P Global, and other major players.

But what you might not know is that he is also an Associate Founder—along with Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis—and Founding Track Chair for Finance, Entrepreneurship & Economics, of Singularity University, the world's leading think tank on the exponential growth of technology. David has been teaching, writing and lecturing about the emergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, and the metaverse for over fifteen years, and is currently chairman of Thinkable AI, a company that uses artificial intelligence to create other companies, and Bookitngo, a company building the blockchain infrastructure for the travel industry.
