Team.
Three partners. Operator-led. Building a senior advisor bench across defense, frontier AI, and institutional capital.
David Taft — Founding Partner
David founded GroundBreak Capital in 2025 to invest in AI companies serving operators and institutions, the customers he spent his career building alongside. His background spans the operator side of capital-intensive industries: institutional real estate development in Southern California, Fortune 500 hospitality, online gaming, and industrial development backed by state pension and union capital. He has advised several family offices on direct private investment, bringing capital-allocator perspective to operating decisions. That dual fluency, operating under institutional capital mandates and advising on capital deployment, shapes how GroundBreak underwrites AI companies and structures relationships with its institutional and sovereign partners.
Marcin Kurc — Venture Partner
Marcin brings serial operator and AI investing experience to GroundBreak. He has founded and exited a multi-cloud commerce platform to one of the largest infrastructure companies in the world, and founded a second venture-backed enterprise software company defining a new category in cloud reliability. He is active across multiple AI investment platforms with deal flow into category-defining AI companies, and contributes operator perspective and frontier AI access to GroundBreak's investment process.
Wojciech Michałowski — Venture Partner
Wojciech brings twenty-five years of cross-border financial structuring and institutional capital experience to GroundBreak. His career spans senior positions across European banking and operating roles at the intersection of institutional finance and technology. He structures the international partnerships that bridge European, Gulf-aligned, and global institutional capital into the companies the firm backs.
