David Pachter is an author and entrepreneur who leads a portfolio of companies. He is the Executive Chairman and Co-founder of JumpCrew and YouNow.

David’s journey can best be described as from “slacker to CEO.” Growing up in New York, his first passion was playing basketball. An average athlete at best, it was playing basketball where he first learned the importance of finding and supporting other more talented teammates — and how teams collaborate, communicate, and learn together all contribute to great teams.
