David Jacobs

Business Broker - Technology Group

Before starting my own California business brokerage practice, I held numerous sales and business development positions within the high-technology industry. I have worked in both startups and large software industry corporations. During my time in the software industry, I successfully negotiated multi-million dollar global deals with large companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, and Sun Microsystems.

Before becoming a licensed California business broker, I ran a commercial print brokerage business focused on business-to-business catalogs. We had contractual relationships with printers across the country and essentially functioned as their outsourced sales agents. My team and I grew this business to become the third-largest print brokerage in the country. A key reason we were successful was because of the software we developed for our internal use. After much thought, I sold this business myself in 2013 and transitioned to a business broker a few years later.

I earned an MBA from New York University in finance and a BA from the University of Pennsylvania in economics. I live on the Peninsula with my family and have been living in the SF Bay area since 1996.
