Dan Pratt

I'm a startup founder with a passion for helping communities grow both online and offline. I'm currently building AdHawk (Techstars 2015), you should check it out.

Prior to starting AdHawk, I worked on the AdWords team at Google helping advertisers scale their businesses. Before Google, I helped lead the marketing and sales efforts at the kick ass skill inventory startup, Smarterer (acquired by Pluralsight). My love of entrepreneurship grew after traveling to Central Europe and Central America to conduct research on street food vendors and their impact on the informal economy.

I'm a proud graduate of the inaugural class of Startup Institute, and sit on its board of alumni. When I'm not busting out some serious metrics, you can find me cooking something tasty and listening to music nobody likes.
