The investor from Venrock, missed Twitter’s round C funding because he did not want his first investment to be so aggressive. "That was a huge mistake. I was still getting my sea legs in venture and was a bit gun shy in my partnership making my first deal a round priced at $225M-pre, but live and learn," says David regretting his missed opportunity.
