Danny Hakimian

Time to appreciate Danny Hakimian – dude’s the real deal in the startup world. He’s a YC S22 alum, which already says a lot, but what’s more exciting is his process. Started out crushing it in marketing in both London and Beijing – talk about a global hustle – then jumped into tech with a sports app that hit the top 100 in over 20 countries. That right there shows he’s got that entrepreneurial fire and knows how to build something that resonates worldwide.

Then, he rolled into identity verification at Onfido – the big name in the space. He was the first US sales hire, opened their NYC office, and led big accounts across North America. Basically, he helped Onfido blow up in the US. You can tell this guy’s got a knack for understanding digital identity and scaling tech – he’s been in the trenches making those products stick.

But what really puts him on a different level is his current gig. He’s the founder and CEO of TrueBiz, a YC-backed startup that’s all about making business account opening easier and automating the boring KYB checks. They raised $2.4 million in seed funding led by Flourish Ventures – that’s legit. TrueBiz is solving a massive problem for enterprises, and Danny’s leading the charge. You see, his whole thing is about cutting through bullshit and making things smoother with tech. He’s not just building apps for fun; he’s creating real solutions for real problems in the business world.

What’s wild is his process from launching startups, crushing virality with apps, to now leading a company that’s actually transforming how businesses handle compliance and onboarding. It shows he’s got that relentless drive to innovate and scale. And his background in global marketing, tech, and startups? It’s like he’s been prepping for this moment his whole life.

Bottom line: Danny Hakimian is a serial entrepreneur who’s been around the block, understands digital identity better than most, and is now building the future of business onboarding. The dude’s got that rare combo of hustle, tech smarts, and a vision to make enterprise processes way less bullshit. No Cap, he’s someone to watch – the kind of founder who’s gonna keep crushing it and changing the game.
