Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDarryl Eaton is a founder and product leader with 13+ years building and scaling fintech and cloud products from idea to acquisition, including RentTrack and LevelCredit which helped millions boost credit scores and processed billions in payments. He blends technical depth (early work in location services and streaming) with product strategy, compliance, and analytics to ship regulated financial products—negotiating bank partnerships and designing full compliance programs across Reg B/Z/E/FCRA/TCPA/BSA. Known for forming high-performing teams and launching career PMs, he repeatedly turns “just now possible” ideas into market share and exits, and has advised or led product at startups and enterprises like RightScale, Array, and ProducePay. Based in Santa Barbara, he balances hands-on engineering instincts with board-level strategy and a founder’s appetite for experiment-driven growth. A somewhat surprising skill: he taught major credit bureaus to ingest alternative data, pioneering a new credit-reporting market.
