David Molina is a business broker and operator based in Seattle who blends 20+ years of military leadership with eight years of hands-on entrepreneurship and product-building to help owners prepare for strategic exits. He has founded and scaled companies from a garage construction firm to a nonprofit that mobilized federal policy change, and he pairs that operator's perspective with data-driven deal processes powered by AI and automation. His background spans government affairs, commercial real estate, portfolio operations for a $600–$800M family office, and technical chops in web development and NLP-informed software analysis. David is skilled at translating regulatory complexity and operational risk into pragmatic valuation and succession strategies, particularly across U.S.–Mexico labor corridors and federal contracting landscapes. Notably, he built early technical products himself (including Operation Code and BilingualHire’s MVP) rather than outsourcing, giving him rare empathy for owners who are also builders. He combines discipline from service, technical fluency, and cross-sector advisory experience to make exits smoother, more certain, and more valuable for sellers.
