Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel An is a product and GTM leader who currently runs GitHub’s global AI/Copilot commercial motion and is simultaneously founding and building Entopiq, a video-first talent discovery startup he engineered end-to-end (TypeScript/React, WebRTC, OpenAI embeddings, pgvector). With 20+ years spanning Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and finance, he blends enterprise partnerships, developer-focused GTM and hands-on engineering—evidence includes a popular Claude Code equity research plugin and a widely read Think with Google article that influenced mobile search thinking. At Microsoft he led AI/Web3 commercialization and at GitHub he now scales regional Copilot teams while tackling churn and enterprise adoption strategies. He’s an operator-founder living the recruiting problem daily, actively raising capital and seeking a technical co-founder. Known for pragmatic developer-first evangelism (see his “Just Fucking Use” collection), he pairs strategic deal-making with solo product execution in production systems. Based in Raleigh, NC, he brings a rare mix of BD, product, engineering and startup grit to AI-driven developer tooling.
