Daniel Pepper

Founder

As a problem solver tackling the critical challenges facing today's startups, I bring years of experience as an engineer, manager and startup advisor to the table. For almost five years I helped Facebook build technology to scale the company to a billion users and handled everything from distributed compilers to running an international engineering training program. I have trained over 100 engineers and executives, while consulting with startups seeking to build engineering teams, improve leadership, and launch products.

When it came to technology, hiring, team dynamics and negotiations, I came to rely on Daniel's counsel most heavily. He would anticipate problems and offer perspective to unlock great solutions. I am extremely grateful to have Daniel on our team through the formative months of our company."

Matt Gibb, Ph.D.
CEO, LendLayer (acquired by Affirm)

In addition to being an experienced and talented engineer, Daniel understands the business needs of clients. I was consistently impressed by his ability to shift from thinking at the extremely granular level of software development — say, maximizing efficiencies of database queries — and then moments later be discussing business logic and market strategy."
