Dan Roselli
Internationally recognized expert on
building startup ecosystems
Dan Roselli’s work in Charlotte, N.C. has helped to
transform Charlotte from a community that was off the map
to one of the hottest startup markets in the country. Roselli’s
work has broadened to have an international impact with
his recent State Department-sponsored trip to Sub-Saharan
Africa, as well as activities across four continents.
Roselli began his entrepreneurial career in 2003 and
was one of the original co-founders of internet marketing
firm Red Ventures. He has since co-founded three different
companies that have made it to the INC 500 list of the fastest
growing private companies in America.
Roselli has a finance degree from Michigan State
University and an MBA in marketing from the University of
Minnesota. Roselli has been honored with several awards,
including the Top 50 Entrepreneurs Award, Forty Under
40, and has been named a combined eight times to the Inc.
