“It is rare to find a lawyer who so seamlessly combines sharp legal expertise with exceptional business judgment, but Dan does just that. He has an incredible ability to balance legal precision with practical, business-focused advice, always helping us weigh where taking a risk made sense and where it didn’t. Dan is super easy to work with and was a perfect fit for Capella Space as we navigated the complexities of a high-growth startup. He was also instrumental is helping us navigate a highly regulated environment with U.S. Government export controls, FCC, and NOAA licensing for our satillites, all while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic office closures.
For any startup founder or an executive, whether in the early or late stages, Dan is an incredible resource who can handle day-to-day functions while also guiding key strategic decisions. I look forward to collaborating with him again on future ventures.”
Payam Banazadeh, Founder, Capella Space
“I worked closely with Dan when he was General Counsel of a digital health startup. He built our in-house legal and regulatory function from the ground up and provided responsive, practical legal advice. And he’s personable and easy to work with. I’d willingly partner with Dan or another venture.”
