Proven Business Leadership
Alan Daniel has been on the other side of the table. As a partner in Pella Windows & Doors of Austin, he helped build the business into one of the top-performing distributorships in the country, and then sold it. He knows what the decision looks like from the seller's chair, because he has made it.
Since 2000 he has invested in Texas real estate, construction, technology, and finance businesses through Daniel Family General, LLC. He co-founded SmartTouch Interactive as Chief Revenue Officer, led revenue at Land.com Network and MetroSceneTV, and began his career structuring commercial and real estate loans at Comerica and Bank One.
Today he acquires controlling interests in Texas specialty trades and real-estate-adjacent services businesses through DBA Investments, and advises a small number of founder-led companies through Daniel Business Advisory.
Why Daniel Business Advisory?
Most buyers in this range are funds with a mandate to satisfy or searchers buying their first business. Alan has run a trades business through growth and through a sale, and he invests his own capital alongside anchor partners deal by deal. For an owner, that means dealing with a principal rather than an intermediary, and a buyer who understands what the business actually takes to run.
