Summary
David Beckemeyer is a former C-suite technology executive and serial founder with over two decades of experience building and advising internet and startup companies, including a decade as Vice President and CTO at EarthLink. He combines deep engineering and architecture chops with business strategy, angel investing, and invention, having launched multiple products and companies from PhoneGnome to Mr Blog and SuperTweet. Now based in Danville, California, he hosts a science podcast while attending journalism school and volunteers as a technologist and mentor for racial justice and early-stage startups. Comfortable shifting between hands-on technical roles and board-level guidance, he excels at turning complex technical visions into practical businesses. An underrated thread through his career is sustained community engagement—mentoring, advising, and coaching (he’s even a part-time boxing coach)—that amplifies his impact beyond product and code.
