Daniel Black, Glass-Media Chief Executive Officer and Founder Daniel Black is often referred to as an entrepreneurial rebel for making the decision to leave the Silicon Valley bubble to launch his retail marketing technology company, Glass-Media, in Dallas, Texas.

Glass-Media is rapidly uprooting the signage space due to its unique emphasis to digital signage solutions and transforming the POP landscape through its full service, proprietary projection-based display platform. Their product enables brands to interact and engage with their street-level audience all while measuring and establishing key performance indicators and ROI by projecting a brands own marketing content onto their own storefront windows.

Later, working alongside notable industry professionals, he would diversify his digital marketing prowess into SEO, Content Marketing, Big Data and Predictive Analytics. Since moving to Dallas in 2013, Daniel has quickly become an integral part of the startup community.
