Daniel Garlen

I am a semi-retired engineer, educator, and small business owner.

In the early ‘90s, my partner and I bootstrapped a founder-funded tech startup which we organically grew into a 1M+/year business designing and building automated weighing systems. This business continues today as a part-time “side hustle”.

I was privileged to have the opportunity to return to college (as a grandfather) to earn an Engineering Management Masters degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science, co-sponsored by the Wharton School of Business.

With my “extra” time, I volunteer at Landhealth Institute an environmental educational 501(C)(3) startup, the Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium as a volunteer (diving with the sharks and other aquatic residents), and now proudly as a mentor at the Philadelphia chapter of SCORE.

I look forward to sharing my small business, information technology, programming, engineering, and educational experience to help local entrepreneurs start and improve small businesses in Philadelphia.
