Background and career
Dan Kurzius (born 1971/1972) is an American billionaire businessman, the co-founder and chief customer officer of Mailchimp.
Kurzius's father ran a bakery-deli in Albuquerque, New Mexico that was "eventually forced out of business by big bakery chains", and he had a fatal heart attack a few years later, when Dan was 14.
Kurzius started out as a DJ then worked in real estate. In 2001, Kurzius and Ben Chestnut were running a web design company and founded Mailchimp, which they own jointly, as a sideline. The company has always been self-funding, and has never had any outside funding. As of March 2019, Forbes estimates Kurzius' net worth at $2.1 billion which makes him one of 13 residents from Georgia that are included in Forbes' 33rd annual ranking of the world's billionaires.
Kurzius is married with two daughters, and lives in Atlanta, Georgia. He collects vintage skateboards. Kurzius's younger brother Rex Kurzius is the founder and CEO of Asset Panda, a cloud-based SaaS platform and mobile app which is used for tracking, managing, and auditing fixed assets and equipment.
