About

As an experienced startup mentor and speaker 🎤, I help early-stage founders build scalable, sustainable growth engines.

As a growth marketing expert 📈, I've spent the last 5+ years working with founders to develop strategic, data-driven approaches to customer acquisition and retention. I focus on maximizing return on investment across digital channels like paid advertising 💵, SEO 🔎, email 📧, and social media marketing 📲.

I've mentored over 50 startups 🏢 through programs like Google Launchpad 🚀, Techstars ⭐, and GrowthMentor 🧑‍🏫. I enjoy working closely with founders to set ambitious yet realistic growth goals 🎯, then rolling up my sleeves 💪 to implement tactical marketing campaigns and experiments. With an analytical, hypothesis-driven 📊 approach, I help teams track performance 📝, rapidly iterate 🔁, and scale what's working ⬆️.

In addition to hands-on mentoring 🤝, I share my startup growth expertise through public speaking 🗣. I've delivered talks and led workshops at Judge Business School Cambridge 🎓, Google Launchpad 🚀, General Assembly 👥, Imperial College London 🏛, and various startup conferences globally 🌎. My speaking engagements focus on avoiding common pitfalls 🪤 and empowering founders with practical, actionable advice on topics like customer acquisition 🎟, team building 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦, fundraising 💸, and more.

Past clients 👨‍💻👩‍💻 describe me as knowledgeable 🧠, enthusiastic 😄, and dedicated to founders' success 🏆. My personal startup experience allows me to empathize with the founder journey ✨. If you're looking for an experienced marketing advisor 🗣 to help develop a robust, measurable growth strategy 📈, I'd be excited to partner with you! 🤝

Daniel helped me with creating a large list of expiriments to execute. Altho it didn't lead to the growth I was expected because of limited TAM, it did help me understand that I needed to find an other idea to work on.

1- Mentor's recommendation are all too high level. Something like: be more specific, be more clear. I mean com'on, really? That's it? 2- takes 8-9 days to respond!!! 3- He attends meetings in a very loud coffee shops!! He can't listen to what you say! 4- He doesn't ask question to understand your needs. Total waste of money and mentor cruise refused to refund the money.

Daniel's response

Hi TJ, I’m disappointed by this review, as it misrepresents both the content and context of our work together. 1. Advice quality: I provided specific, actionable growth strategies tailored to your business, including funnel experiments and messaging recommendations. You asked for general advice and offered little context, which limits how deep we can go. 2. Responsiveness: I replied within 24 hours on average, except once when I was waiting for your data (and followed up twice). MentorCruise's guideline is 48 hours. 3. Call environment: One call was affected by a power cut and I offered to reschedule. You agreed to continue and confirmed the audio was fine. 4. Engagement: I asked multiple clarifying questions, but your replies were vague. Without clear input, I can’t deliver precise output. I’ve mentored 40+ founders with strong reviews and outcomes. I stand by the quality of my work, and I’m always open to constructive feedback, but this review is neither fair nor accurate.
