Dan Chalklin

Originally from the UK, I now have the privilege of splitting my time between New York, San Francisco, and London—three of the world’s most dynamic cities. I’m constantly seeking personal growth and connection with like-minded people who share my drive for innovation. With a deep-rooted passion for technology, an innate fascination with psychology, and a keen eye for design, I’ve found these global hubs to be the perfect environments for me to thrive both personally and professionally.

I see my ADHD as a superpower—it allows me to process information quickly, adapt on the fly, and strategize in ways that help me excel in the fast-paced world of startups and high-pressure environments. My ability to quickly synthesize complex ideas and pivot when needed has become a key asset to the companies and teams I collaborate with. Whether it’s brainstorming disruptive ideas, refining product design, or optimizing team efficiency, I enjoy the intensity and challenge of working in high-growth industries.

I’ve always been passionate about forming long-term partnerships and nurturing those connections. Whether connecting clients to key opportunities, supporting friends, or introducing future collaborators, I naturally gravitate toward being a matchmaker. Building those bridges has always been a central part of how I approach life and work and as a result, I recently had the joy of marrying my best friend who I met during my time in New York.

Outside of my professional life, you’ll often find me exploring new cities, diving into culinary adventures in the kitchen, or at the gym lifting weights and staying active.
