Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Kantor is a founder and product-focused CEO with 14+ years building and scaling consumer and enterprise products across AI, audio/media, and B2B domains. He combines hands-on engineering and product strategy—growing teams from single digits to 50+—and has led launches at CNN, Clarifai, and multiple startups he founded that resulted in acquisitions (Exfm, Streampad). Comfortable both in large enterprises and scrappy startups, he repeatedly turns media and machine learning ideas into shipped products like CNN Audio and Napster apps. Currently running a boutique consultancy in New York, he advises on web3, AI, and digital media while continuing to prototype customer-centric applications. Notably, his career blends deep technical contributions (early roles at del.icio.us and Microsoft) with serial founding experience, giving him rare fluency across product, engineering, and go-to-market execution.
