About the Founder
Dave Waiser has been building startups most of his life. Over the years, he’s built six companies across Israel, the UK, and the US, raised more than $1B, and lived through the full cycle: idea, launch, scaling pains, near-death moments, acquisitions, and unicorn-level wins. His track record spans InfoAuto, Loyalize, Gett, KamaLama, Accumulator, and Fundraisly.
The turning point
Gett, after more than a decade of work, was finally heading toward an IPO at a $1.1B valuation. On paper, it looked like the moment every founder works for.
Then Russia launched a war, the IPO window slammed shut, and overnight Dave watched $170M of personal “paper wealth” disappear despite the business itself staying strong.
That experience surfaced something founders talk about privately but rarely acknowledge publicly: most of a founder’s net worth sits on paper, undiversified, illiquid, and exposed to forces no one can control.
Why Accumulator exists
Dave built Accumulator™ so other founders wouldn’t have to learn this lesson the hard way.
Accumulator allows founders and shareholders to unlock liquidity, reduce single-stock risk, and convert fragile paper wealth into real wealth without selling and without losing belief in their company. It is a rational, modern solution to a problem nearly every founder faces but few know how to solve.
What he’s building now
Today, Dave is building the Founders OS – fintech products for founders, unlocking what matters most:
• Liquidity - Accumulator.co
• Fundraising - FundRaisly.com
• Health & Energy - KamaLama.org
His mission is simple and personal: to give founders the tools he wishes he had.
