About Dan Ellis
I’m an internet entrepreneur and investor with a background in software engineering and growth. I started my first company in college, raised venture capital at 23, and went on to bootstrap and scale multiple software companies, including the HR-tech and risk-management platform ClearChecks (acquired by HireRight in 2025). With roots as a developer and deep experience in customer acquisition, I enjoy building great products by combining strong engineering, customer insights, and a data-driven go-to-market approach.
