About Dan Fisher
Serial entrepreneur. Former Apple employee. Founder and CEO of Networkli—the platform that's helping 500+ community leaders turn random connections into lasting relationships.
Why I built Networkli
I watched too many communities lose great members because people joined excited, then left within 90 days. Not because the content was bad. Not because the community wasn't valuable. They left because they never connected with the right people fast enough.
Networking events made it worse. Spend money. Talk to random people. Miss the one person who could actually help you—even though they were standing 20 feet away.
So my wife Brittany and I built Networkli to fix it. AI-powered matching that connects the right people at the right time. The result? 92% better retention. 87% higher engagement.
Professional Journey
Early Career: Sales & IT
Built foundation in relationship-building and technical systems. Learned how to connect people to solutions that actually work.
Apple Employee
Learned world-class product design, user experience, and what it takes to build products people love. Absorbed Apple's obsession with details and simplicity.
Legal Marketing Business
Scaled to $400K in 6 months. Learned how to grow fast, build systems, and deliver results under pressure.
But growth without purpose felt empty. I wanted to build something that mattered.
Founded Networkli (2020)
Built with my wife Brittany to solve a problem that made me sick: people joining communities excited, then leaving within 90 days because they never connected with the right people.
Today: 500+ communities. 92% better retention. 87% higher engagement. Helping community leaders turn introductions into lasting relationships.

What I'm building
Networkli helps community leaders create meaningful connections that actually stick. No more random coffee chats. No more alphabetical buddy systems.
We use smart matching to connect people based on what they need, who they are, and what they're working on. The result? Members stay longer, engage more, and build relationships that matter.
