Founder

Daniel Johnson

I'm Daniel. After 15 years operating inside SaaS, fintech, healthtech and EdTech startups, including two exits, I kept seeing the same pattern: founders with great products who were stuck running marketing themselves because nobody else on the team could read the numbers and decide what to scale.

I built WSS to be the operator I wished was there: senior judgement that diagnoses the real constraint, builds the system, and then transfers it so you don't need me forever.
