Daniel Dalen is one of the most respected voices in the creator landscape. By mid-2023, Daniel found himself at an inflection point: he had the business track record, the story, the audience — but he lacked clarity around where to take it next. That’s where we came in.

A creator with a business track record ready for his next chapter.
Daniel had credibility, taste, and momentum, but none of it was anchored to a long-term business vision. His background in ecommerce was a clear advantage, yet it wasn’t integrated into a larger narrative or venture strategy. Without structure, he risked diluting his potential instead of amplifying it.
Three months of deep work to define a founder-led venture studio.
We worked side-by-side for three months—meeting in person, mapping his trajectory, and clarifying what he was truly built for. Together, we identified that his natural next step was a personal venture studio rooted in ecommerce, the field where he held real expertise. Our work gave him the clarity, positioning, and confidence to commit to that path.
The foundation of his personal venture studio and the first chapter of nicetomeetyou.
Daniel gained a clear founder identity, a coherent business narrative, and a defined strategic direction for his venture studio. It marked a pivotal moment for both sides: he stepped into a new phase of his career, and he became the first partner of nicetomeetyou—before the studio was even fully formed. His clarity helped shape us, just as ours helped shape him.
