Alex Dahan, a fierce innovator with a passion for problem-solving, co-founded Open Influence in 2011. Alex has always had an entrepreneurial spirit which is what drove and ignited the idea of Open Influence. Shortly after graduating high school, Alex was searching for ways to advertise his clothing line when he turned to creators on Instagram with large followings. After finding success, Open Influence (originally Instabrand) was born. Alex played a key role in securing many of the company’s first major clients through his innovative and creative pitch decks.
Over the decade in which Open Influence has been evolving, Alex dove into many other successful endeavors, including a startup studio, 0x Ventures, where he has developed products in the fields of SaaS, fintech, AI, and web3. Alex also serves on the advisory board of electric car company Faraday Future (an OI client) and acts as a consultant to the Director of Innovation. Through these experiences, Alex has gained extensive knowledge about the evolving state of technology and how to stay at the forefront of emerging tech trends.
Alex believes in not being afraid to take calculated risks and to look into the future, identifying opportunities rather than focusing on the challenges that might arise.
Alex’s creativity spills into his daily life into his many hobbies, including designing user-interfaces, drawing, skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, playing guitar, and hiking with his two huskies.
