Daniel Hansen

Daniel Hansen began his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 16, when he formed his first company and ventured into the tech industry within IT equipment, hotel booking software, remote backup and VoIP. The industry he worked in was always less important than his interest in scaling companies, and his journey is now fully focused on investing, growing and partnering with bold founders who want to take a different route than with a traditional PE/VC investor, which leads to an early IPO and liquid ownership.

Today, the Danish native splits his time between Europe and the USA from where he runs his own non-conservative family office, OMNIA Global – a company that invests in likeminded entrepreneurs, deals and projects with a strong focus on the people involved and their mindset. OMNIA and Daniel are intrinsically linked since the entrepreneur has embedded many of his beliefs into the company.

As a person who sees opportunities everywhere, Daniel is a strong believer in constantly creating new dots that at some point in one way or another will connect. This means that Daniel is constantly meeting new people and generally being on the move for large periods of the year. Meeting people, creating ideas, forming partnerships and traveling around the world is what fuels his mind and creativity. His main focus is on who the business partners are and which causes they are motivated by – the potential profits come second. The why is always the most important part of doing business.

Daniel’s interest in finance comes from the experience and belief that the world is overflowing with ideas from great minds, but it is the execution of those ideas and the financing of them that entrepreneurs tend to struggle with. This is where OMNIA comes into play.

Daniel Hansen and OMNIA believe in transparency

Daniel strongly believes that partnerships, deals and investments can be done in a more transparent way which manifests itself in the way OMNIA is structured. By doing business with such a mindset, there is a joint understanding that everyone wins. Furthermore, Daniel believes that entrepreneurs need fewer traditional VC/PE investment partners and more control and direct access to capital markets in order to focus more on scaling and growing their businesses.

In his personal life, Daniel is a foodie, wine lover and avid reader with a fondness of adrenaline sports. He has a huge love for animals and a large portion of his philanthropic efforts is directed this way.
