Dan Fries

Co-Founder of Next Ventures Group
Dan is a veteran in the digital marketing industry, having been a keynote speaker on the subject of growth marketing and SEO. Prior to founding Next Ventures, Dan was an associate scientist at the Dana Farber Institute at Harvard and MIT, co-authoring two publications under the guidance of Matthew Meyerson. There, Dan learned how Google's PageRank algorithm was based on scientific citation convention, and the mechanics of ranking in search engines mirrored those behind determining the most authoritative scientific research. Realizing that a career in digital marketing aligned better with his passions, Dan launched, grew and sold multiple digital businesses, later co-founding Next Ventures Group with Sia. Under their management, the company quickly grew to millions in ARR, fully bootstrapped without outside investment.
