Daniel Eckler is the founder and co-founder of Spacecadet Ventures, a New York-based early-stage venture capital firm he launched in 2020 alongside Wisam “Wiz” Abdulla. Eckler brings a dual background as a two-time exited startup founder (Piccsy and EveryGuyed) and combines venture investing with marketing expertise, positioning Spacecadet as “the marketing VC”.
