About Dane W.
I\'m the Founder/CEO of an Austin-based kids and family tech startup, Pinwheel.com. Our mission is to empower people over technology. Our first product, the Pinwheel phone, is designed for caregivers and kids to work together towards learning to use a smartphone as a tool first. The company is a rocket ship for spreading digital wellness!As an angel investor (since 2017), I have supported more than 20 early-stage startups. Previously, I co-founded an IoT Platform startup, Meshify, in 2010 and lead the team through venture funding; significant growth, and finally the successful acquisition by publicly traded HSB / Munich RE in 2016. I continued to grow and lead the team post-acquisition until 2018. Prior to co-founding Meshify, I worked in Corporate New Technology Development within a Fortune 500.In 2021 I was honored to be named a Georgia Tech 40 Under 40 By the Alumni Association.
