Dan Newhall

Founding Managing Partner at Rise Growth Partners

I am a connector, and my goal is to connect like-minded individuals with rewarding business opportunities. Fostering long lasting, meaningful relationships is what drives me. I struggle with big egos and value humility. I look for alignment in both my business and personal life. I strive to surround myself with people who believe everyone can win, who lift others up, and who value relationships over material gain. I'm a mental health advocate and think that taking care of yourself first allows you to show up for others in a meaningful and humble way. Creating meaningful connections with people that give a sense of community and purpose is what makes me tick.
