David Stein

David Stein is managing director of Leaders Fund, a venture capital firm investing in Enterprise SaaS companies.

Prior to founding Leaders Fund, David co-founded, built and sold two high performing enterprise software companies: Rypple and Workbrain.

At Workbrain, David helped grow the Toronto-based human capital management software company to more than 500 employees and over $100 million in revenue. Following an initial public offering on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Workbrain was acquired in 2007.

As co-founder/CEO of Rypple, an enterprise SaaS software company, David pioneered the social performance management space and built a blue-chip customer base including Facebook, Linkedin and Spotify. After selling the company to Salesforce.com in 2012 and launching the Work.com brand on the main stage at Dreamforce, David spent three years in a senior leadership role at the company.

When he isn’t seeking out the next great enterprise software company, David is involved in a growing number of philanthropic activities. He also enjoys spending time with his wife and two boys, honing his golf game and kicking back with a nice glass of wine.
