Multi-Exit Founder

Dan Merino

Built and sold platforms in digital health and developer infrastructure; now helping regulated fintech teams ship faster.

Built & Sold

TrueVation (Acquired by QHR Technologies)

PatientPrep automated intake with structured questionnaires that generated SOAP-note summaries and dropped them straight into the provider’s EHR before the visit. Clinics cut paperwork, hit insurer reimbursement requirements, and gave physicians more time to focus on care.

Rally Chain (Confidential Acquisition)

Early blockchain infrastructure that abstracted custody, gas, and asset tooling so app teams could ship without wrestling core protocols. Managed accounts, relayer-style gas stations, and token lifecycle APIs anticipated the middleware later popularized by platforms like Turnkey.
