Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Kaufman is a product leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling fintech and infrastructure products from 0→1 and beyond, most notably helping Affirm grow from early-stage to a $24B market cap and launching merchant-facing integrations that now drive a quarter of loan volume. He led Disco’s product org through hypergrowth to a ~$20M run rate and now works in stealth while advising startups on AI agent product discovery and monetization. Hands-on with systems and models, his background blends software engineering, operations, and research into optimization of natural systems and data pipelines. At Affirm he shipped core servicing infrastructure, end-to-end SMB self-serve onboarding (patented), and developer-friendly enterprise integrations that cut integration time from weeks to days. Based in San Francisco, he’s equally comfortable inventing technical product primitives and building the people and processes to scale them. An uncommon detail: he built Affirm’s early recruiting and support tooling, hiring the first 50+ engineers, PMs, and designers beyond the founding team.
