This episode of The David Daily sits at the intersection of capital, conviction, and cutting-edge technology.

I’m joined by Graeme Barlow, an advisor and accredited angel investor in emerging and frontier technologies, with over $500K invested across early-stage companies. Graeme brings a rare blend of deep technical insight, investor discipline, and spiritual philosophy, offering founders a perspective that goes far beyond writing checks.

Together, we’ll explore how founders should think about fundraising in today’s market, what angels actually look for when evaluating deals, and how quantum and frontier technologies are shaping the next generation of defensible moats. The conversation also weaves in leadership, faith, and the inner work required to build companies that last.

To close out the episode, Graeme joins me for the signature Beyond the Bag segment, sharing one meaningful item he carries while traveling and the mindset behind it.
