What founders say

“We wouldn’t be the fastest growing media company without Daniel in our corner from day one. Few understand the future of tech & media, and even fewer can help companies reach it”

Tyler Denk

Founder, Beehiiv

“Founders and CEOs turn to advisers and investors for help, and Daniel's the guy they turn to. He is today’s Frank Quattrone - the guy you can count on to solve problems others can’t even see”

Maya Bakhai

Founder & GP, Spice Capital

“Dan can see unique emerging opportunities from his vantage point of the intersection of technology, media and culture”

Avi Flombaum
