Join the CBS Tech Club and Columbia Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO) for conversation with Dan about SoFi early days, Entrepreneurship, and the tech industry. Today, SoFi is a public company with nearly $30 Billion of market cap but it all started by Dan and his co-founders at Stanford GSB, where they turned a student-led idea into one of the most disruptive financial services companies ever. Dan is an active investor, advisors, and board member across multiple startups and serves as President at Summer, a company focused on helping borrowers navigate student debt.

This session, moderated by Daniel Brener (CBS ’26), will dive into Dan’s entrepreneurial journey—from building SoFi during business school to leading innovation in student debt—and explore his vision for the future of accessible, tech-enabled finance.
