Venture Partner at ff Venture Capital
View Live Interactive Profile →David Roberts is listed on the ff Venture Capital team page as a Venture Partner. He serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Applied Research Institute, a non-profit focused on innovation and technology initiatives supporting national security and economic development, and as Executive Director for Li-Bridge, an initiative of the US Department of Energy in partnership with Argonne National Laboratory focused on a domestic battery supply chain. He was previously the State of Indiana's Chief Innovation Officer, leading the team that created and implemented a $1B innovation and entrepreneurship strategy, and has been president of lithium-ion battery companies in both the private and public-private sector. His background also includes patent and legal counsel for Caterpillar, engineer with Lockheed Martin, chief operating officer for a special purpose acquisition company, and private practice as a patent and business attorney. The team page states no degrees for him, so education is empty. No company-level investment could be attributed to him from a first-party source, and no board seat at a named company was found.
