Hi. I'm Daniel.
My mission is to help ambitious adventurers achieve their dreams. I'm a founder and long-term investor. My life's work is to partner with great people building exceptional companies. People who are ambitious adventurers.
I care about entrepreneurs who try to do very hard things. It's fun and fulfilling to help them realize their dreams.
Every year I partner with a few exceptional entrepreneurs.
We work together on:
Most importantly, I'm by their side through a very hard journey. I care for them as a human through all the crazy.
Usually, entrepreneurs come to me with their ideas. Sometimes, we build stuff I think needs to exist.
I've co-founded and sold three software companies:
After acquisition, I was an executive at Salesforce and Shopify through their hyper-scale periods. I led teams in product, partnership, marketing, corp dev, emerging technology and other special project roles.
I've also co-founded not-for-profits:
High ambition
Do you have a clear view of how the world should change and the conviction to drive that change? Does your idea really matter? Do you accept the time, sacrifice, and dedication to make it real?
Extreme excellence
Have you already done something exceptionally well? To me prior excellence demonstrates the persistence and focus needed for success.
Good humans
Are you kind under pressure, honest about what you don't know, and able to laugh at yourself? Will you always do the right thing? Personal integrity matters a great deal to me.
Here are some companies and founders who I have worked with:
I'm reachable, but selective.
If you're very ambitious and starting a great adventure - please get in touch.
