What you likely need

Dan Veltri is a proven product-focused founder who co-built Weebly from a dorm room to a 32-million-user platform and exited via a $365M acquisition by Square. Post-exit, he has begun angel investing but his public profile and deal activity remain relatively quiet. Leaning into his product and consumer-internet expertise — whether through a new venture, an advisory role, or a more active angel practice — would maximize the value of his hard-won operator experience.

Are these your current priorities?

We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.

positioningConsider launching a new company in consumer internet or e-commerce tooling, where your Weebly product experience and YC/Sequoia network give you an immediate credibility advantage with investors.
introsExpand your angel portfolio beyond Tovala by formalizing a thesis around SMB SaaS or e-commerce infrastructure, where your Weebly operator background gives you genuine edge in evaluating founders.
introsRe-engage the YC alumni network — as a Winter 2007 alum you have access to one of the most valuable founder communities in the world, which can surface both co-investment opportunities and potential co-founders for a new venture.
tacticalReactivate your GitHub presence with public side projects or open-source tooling; your account has been dormant for nearly 7 years, which undersells your technical credibility to the builder community.
positioningTake on 1–2 formal product advisory roles at early-stage startups targeting SMBs, converting your Weebly CPO experience into equity and deal flow without requiring a full-time commitment.
positioningStart writing publicly about product strategy and SMB growth — your journey scaling Weebly to 32 million users is a story few people can tell, and consistent content would rebuild your public profile post-acquisition.
introsLeverage your existing relationships with Sequoia and Tencent (both Weebly backers) to get warm introductions to their current portfolio companies where you could add product value as an advisor or board member.
