Daniel founded TLV Tech in 2018 to address the fundamental conflict in vendor-client relationships where vendors prioritize selling hours while clients aim to minimize costs.
• Grew from garage startup to a 50-person global team serving clients from pre-seed ventures to Fortune 50 companies
• Uses a "gear system" to adapt working styles between startups (speed-focused) and enterprises (process-oriented)
• Prioritizes hiring engineers passionate about technology over specific experience or tech stack familiarity
• Recommends non-technical founders stay involved in product development rather than completely outsourcing
• Suggests future-proofing tech stacks through language consolidation, thoughtful tech selection, and community support
• Embraced AI early across all business functions, making them more efficient and cost-effective
• Compares startups to speedboats and enterprises to yachts - with AI giving speedboats unprecedented opportunity
• Believes software engineering jobs aren't threatened by AI but will require different skills
• Advises founders to ask themselves: "If you couldn't fail, what would you do?"
