David Jelinek

David brings over 10+ years of operator experience, spanning tech, product, and hospitality. Born and raised in Chicago, he spent his childhood growing up in his family’s bakery, his early twenties managing a bar, a fine-dining restaurant, and starting a digital product + software development company. Through that business, he worked side by side with hundreds of entrepreneurs and executive teams to design and build hundreds of digital products. Growing that business to ~130 people in under five years, he then sold to GoHealth, a now public company. He’s been fortunate to share his experience with several other hospitality businesses as an investor and advisor, supporting them through growth and exit.
