Dave Whorton

Dave Whorton is the founder of Tugboat Institute, where he works to support entrepreneurs and leaders in building enduring, purpose-driven, people-first, and profitable Evergreen companies while aiming to make Tugboat Institute one itself. A former Silicon Valley entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Dave now champions the Evergreen movement with a mix of wisdom, perseverance, and heart. When not focused on his work, he enjoys hiking in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains and pondering his next big idea – often over his third or fourth cup of coffee.
