David Weiss

David Weiss is a private-markets capital-raising professional whose career has centered on institutional fund placement and alternative investments rather than startup angel investing. According to professional-data aggregators, his career began at Citi as an Investment Banking Analyst (approximately 2006–2008), followed by roles as Analyst and then Investment Associate at Performance Equity Management, LLC (a private-equity fund-of-funds, approximately 2009–2014).

He then moved into fund placement as a Vice President at Eaton Partners (approximately 2014–2016), one of the longest-established global placement agents for alternative-investment managers (Eaton Partners was founded in 1983 and was acquired by Stifel Financial in 2019). Building on that placement-agent experience, Weiss founded and ran Brick Road Capital as Managing Director from approximately 2016 to 2019, positioning the firm as "A Focused Partner in Private Capital Raising" for North American private-markets managers.

After Brick Road Capital, aggregator records indicate he continued in private markets as a Managing Director and Partnership Member at Comvest Partners (a private-investment firm focused on private credit and private equity, approximately 2019–2024), and is listed by some data providers as a Managing Director at Silver Point Capital, L.P. more recently. Note that Silver Point Capital's public team page does not currently list him, so this most-recent affiliation could not be confirmed against a primary source and should be treated as unverified.

He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Emory University (approximately 2002–2006).

• His professional focus is institutional capital raising / fund placement — connecting private-fund managers with institutional limited partners — rather than making direct seed or angel investments.
• Brick Road Capital positioned itself as "A Focused Partner in Private Capital Raising," concentrating on North American private-markets managers (private equity and private credit strategies).
• Subsequent roles (Comvest Partners; reportedly Silver Point Capital) are in private credit and private equity at the fund/institutional level, not venture or seed-stage startup investing.
• No publicly stated thesis around startup/angel investing, sector preferences for early-stage companies, or check sizes for seed deals could be located — consistent with this being a fund-finance/placement career rather than an angel-investing one.
