THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN TEXAS

Welcome Jeff Dachis! | Newest Capital Factory Mentor

By Joshua Baer |  05/09/2014 | Mentors

What makes a great mentor?

They are founders of one or more successful technology startups and have been through the same thing you’re going through.  They enjoy spending time with other entrepreneurs and thinking about different businesses.

They have a huge network of customers, vendors and employees they can introduce you to. They’re really busy, but make time to meet with you every week and are responsive to your emails and calls.

Capital Factor prides itself in providing the highest quality mentors in the business to help scale your startup.

Considered one of the early pioneers in the development of the World Wide Web, Jeff is adept at identifying strategic growth opportunities that drive the creation of new industries. Jeff is currently serving as Chief Evangelist at Sprinklr, the leading social experience management platform, which recently completed its purchase of Dachis Group. As the Founder, CEO and Chairman of Dachis Group, he helped coin the term ‘Social Business’, set the vision and strategy for its Social Business consulting practice and the development of its big data social analytics platform, and led the company’s growth at its peak to over 240 employees and $ 42MM in revenue, integrated 7 acquisitions, and drove the eventual strategic exit to Sprinklr. He is also the Co-Founder, former CEO and Chairman of Razorfish (acquired by Publicis PSE:PUB.PA), the world’s largest digital marketing solutions firm, where he bootstrapped the company and led it through its successful $55MM IPO (NASDAQ:RAZF), eventually grew it to over $280MM in annual revenue, integrated over 20 acquisitions, and managed over 2,200 employees in 15 cities in 9 countries. With a passion for the intersection of big data, mobile computing, the quantified self movement and digital innovation, Jeff had early involvement in the creation of the first banner ad, the creation of the first web animation, and has digital work exhibited as part of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art‘s permanent collection. Jeff is a Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year winner (NYC 2001) and finalist (Austin 2012).

Jeff produces the premier Social Business Summit thought leadership series, hosting over 25 events around the world in Asia, Europe, South America, and the United States.  He is an active mentor and investor with TechStars and Founder’s Institute, and serves or has served on advisory boards for companies including Sprinklr, Bazaarvoice(NASDAQ:BV), OfferPop, Ferris, and SocialWare. Jeff is a frequent guest lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin and New York University; he has a MA from NYU, and a double Liberal Arts degree from SUNY Purchase.
