He is among the crews where their Dad's bought TRS-80's hooked up to the TV and loaded games from tape drives. He loves music, and even ran a small record label in San Francisco. But nowadays, he focuses on his family with two little kids. While working at Angelist, he and his co-founder decided to start another thing together... the problem was, they didn't know what to build. Dave had been a podcast listener for a long time, but never really thought about what was under the hood. After considering a few different avenues, including yet another podcast app , they decided to focus on podcast analytics - some might say the App Annie for podcasting. This is the creation story of Chartable.
