DAN
NEWTON
Growth Partner to Ambitious Businesses
Equity investor, strategist, and operator. I join forces with businesses to accelerate growth, unlock opportunities, and make bold moves.
ABOUT MY WORK
​
I work with ambitious businesses ready to move fast, cut through the noise, and scale with confidence.
​​​
Strategy Days
One focused day to sharpen your positioning, refine your offer, and map your next big moves. We strip it back, rebuild it sharp, and leave you with clarity and momentum.
​
Ongoing Advisory
Monthly strategic support to help you stay on track, make smarter decisions, and seize opportunities without getting stuck in the weeds.​
​
Equity Projects
When I believe in what you’re building, I bring my time, network, and execution in exchange for a small stake. I partner with existing businesses ready for a step-change in growth.
​
This is about action, insight, and results, not endless decks and slow-moving plans.
If that’s what you need, I’m listening.
A FEW OF MY PROJECTS
Everything here started with a simple idea - either mine, or someone else’s.
I got involved, helped shape it, and built something that works.
​
Some solve real problems. Some are just experiments. But all of them were built with the same approach:
Take action. Test it. Refine it. Go again.
​
I don’t build for likes or logos, I build to learn, move fast, and connect real people through things that matter.
INSIDE THE LAB
This is where the real stuff lands.
​
Late-night thoughts. Raw ideas. Sharp takes on the grind of building - and the game around it.
​
Inside the Lab isn’t just about what I’m building. It’s where I break things down, call things out, and make sense of it all as I go.
Sales, mindset, leadership, momentum, nothing’s off-limits.
​
Sometimes it’s about what’s working.
Sometimes it’s about what’s broken.
​
Either way, I share it here - unfiltered.
