Who Is Dave Bailey?
I’ve founded three VC-backed startups—including Delivery Hero, which IPO’d in 2017.
I’ve raised millions, hired hundreds, and led through the mess and magic of scale.
After stepping back from my third company, I started helping founders in my network. What began as a few one-off conversations turned into a full-time obsession.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve coached more than 250 venture-backed CEOs and built over 50 proprietary workshops, tools, and frameworks to help them lead with clarity, conviction, and real results.
I’m not your typical coach.
I’m a founder who coaches founders—and I’m on a mission to help you lead your company your way.
