Daniel Macklin

Founder of SoFi

"I joined Founders Pledge as it's a great way for entrepreneurs to give back and have a positive impact on society. For me, it's the right thing to do."

Dan Macklin is a Co-Founder at SoFi, a new kind of finance company taking a radical approach to lending and wealth management. To date, SoFi has lent more than $16 billion in mortgages, personal loans and student loan refinancing. In September 2015, SoFi announced a $1 billion Series E funding round led by SoftBank.  Prior to SoFi, Dan spent twelve years at Standard Chartered Bank across London, Singapore and Shanghai. Dan is a graduate of the University of Durham in England and the Stanford Graduate School of Business and has been interviewed by publications including Bloomberg, CNBC, Financial Times, Forbes, Reuters and Wall Street Journal.  Dan was named as one of the 25 Inspiring Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2017 by Inc and, much to the amusement of his kids, was selected as one of the 40 Coolest People Under 40 in Silicon Valley by Business Insider. @macklindan
