About DogShit Investing

The contradiction is the point.

The name says exactly what we hunt for: seriously undervalued investments, the kind others have written off, where a closer look may reveal value the market missed.

THE NAMETHE METHOD
DogShit

Something overlooked, rejected, or assumed to have little value.

Investing

The possibility that careful examination may reveal real value others missed.

01 / WHY IT EXISTS

Good groups do not last on enthusiasm alone.

The business groups, book clubs, and peer circles I have been part of created real friendship, ideas, accountability, and a few genuinely great trips. Every time the recurring structure fell away, the group usually did too.

01 / THE NEED

Something worth returning to

Adult friendships need more than good intentions. A recurring activity gives people a reason to prepare, show up, contribute, and make the next date matter.

02 / THE LESSON

Structure helps it last

The strongest groups had a rhythm, clear expectations, and something members were responsible for making together. DogShit Investing starts with those lessons built in.

03 / THE FORMAT

Investing keeps it fresh

Each month brings new ideas, real disagreement, a decision, and a record. The money stays deliberately small so the conversation and the company can remain the point.

The important boundary Keep your advisor. Nothing here is financial advice.

02 / WHO'S BEHIND IT

The members are what make it.

A group worth coming back to.

I'm David. Adult life has a way of leaving you without the people who really know you. Plenty of contacts, a group chat or two, but not the handful who know your life and your work and let you know theirs. That gap gets loud when you're building something. The good groups closed it for me, slowly, the way trust actually forms, until we were genuinely useful to each other. I can't promise a group will do that for you. I can tell you it did it for me, and that is the reason any of this exists.

What makes a group last is not complicated, though it is easy to get wrong: real structure, and people who actually show up. That is not a hunch. My career has spanned more than thirty roles, construction to business, musician to filmmaker, plus decades spent helping businesses hold themselves together, and the pattern held every time, in places that shared nothing else.

None of that makes me an investment expert, and I have no interest in pretending it does. What I am good at is simpler: getting the right people around a table and giving them a reason to keep coming back. DogShit Investing is that, built on purpose and handed to the people who show up.

No claim of investment expertise. No promise of performance. Just a well-designed reason for capable people to think and spend time together.

03 / HONEST AMBITION

Build one group worth returning to.

DogShit Investing is focused on making its founding group work well. We are not currently offering additional chapters, but we are always open to a thoughtful question or conversation.
