Flywheel Ventures Names David Jargiello as General Counsel & Venture Partner
April 12, 2011 (Albuquerque, NM) - Flywheel Ventures, a seed and early stage venture capital firm, announced today that David Jargiello, veteran Silicon Valley lawyer, joins the firm as General Counsel and Venture Partner. David is the sixth person to join Flywheel’s group of distinguished Venture Partners and “Entrepreneurs-in-Residence”. David will be responsible for structuring and executing Flywheel’s global investment activities and helping guide the firm’s portfolio companies in various transactional and business matters.
“We are looking forward to working with David in this new role as we’ve been impressed over the years with his seasoned business and legal approach to working with our firm and engaging with our portfolio companies,” said Flywheel General Partner, Kim Sanchez Rael. “Bringing David on board helps us continue to execute our strategy of finding great entrepreneurs around the country by ‘fishing where everyone else isn’t’ and connecting them with top-tier people and resources around the world.”
Jargiello has over 20 years of legal experience, beginning in 1989 in Craig Johnson’s emerging companies group at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. In 1993, he was one of the original 14 lawyers who founded Venture Law Group, a leading Silicon Valley law firm that grew to over 120 lawyers in four offices in major technology markets. As a VLG shareholder (partner), he was also that firm’s General Counsel and part of the management team responsible for oversight and management of its business and professional matters. After VLG merged with Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe in 2003, David became a shareholder in the combined firm’s Corporate/VLG Practice Group. He was a member of Heller Ehrman’s management committee until re-joining Johnson in 2008 to create Virtual Law Partners - the first wholly “virtual” law office of national reach. Among the most experienced law firm management experts in the country, he writes, speaks and consults frequently on the spectrum of professional and business matters that confront lawyers and law firms. He holds a BA from Case Western Reserve University, an MS from Stanford University and a JD from the University of California, Berkeley.
