David Gelberg

I joined government as a No10 Innovation Fellow, based in the Prime Minister’s Office at 10 Downing Street, to help keep AI a national priority and make sure Britain isn’t left behind. I was initially posted to the Justice AI Unit at the Ministry of Justice, where I worked on transforming prisons and the wider criminal justice system.

I’m also the world’s fastest-exited founder, quant dev for the world’s top pro sports bettors. I co-run Unicorn Mafia, London’s biggest developer community. I back early-stage founders as a scout for a16z and a partner at 20VC’s 20Sales II fund.

I believe the UK is one of the best places in the world to build, but a lot of the infrastructure underneath it is held together with tape. If you’ve hit your complain-to-action ratio limit — reach out and tell me about a government problem you’re certain you could solve.
