#33: Dan Reich — Post-Exit Life as a 4x Founder

Dan has sold four companies throughout his career. We discuss what that was like and dive into what he’s doing next—building a venture studio. He shares his playbook and how he's leveraging his strengths, and I get his advice on navigating post-exit life. Plus, we discuss philanthropy and finding purpose and fulfillment beyond financial success.

Guest

Dan Reich is an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. He has co-founded Spinback (acquired by Buddy Media), Tula (acquired by Procter & Gamble), Dibs Beauty, and Troops.ai (acquired by Salesforce).
