Hi, I’m Dan Steiny. I help companies at the intersection of content and AI drive growth through smart partnerships, licensing, and business development. Whether through fractional leadership or larger initiatives, I bring 20+ years of experience to every collaboration.

I’m a digital media enthusiast with a lifelong passion for great content and for empowering the creators behind it. Whether it’s a song, a movie, a powerful image or video, an innovative podcast, or a dataset fueling groundbreaking AI, I believe great content can inform, inspire, and transform the world.

My fascination with the power of content began at age 10, when I received my first phonograph—and it’s shaped my entire journey ever since. That passion has led me through a career in digital media business development and fueled my own creative pursuits as a musician, songwriter, and storyteller.

Born and raised in Carmel, CA, I’ve lived in New York City, Los Angeles, and even spent a wild season in the jungles of Costa Rica. Today, I’m based in the vibrant creative and tech hub of San Francisco/Silicon Valley. As a proud UCLA graduate, my mission remains the same: to help creators and companies unlock their potential and build a more inspired, creative world.

Let’s connect—and explore how we can help build what’s next together.
