Danielle

Lanyard

Danielle Lanyard is the cofounder of RegenTech and the founder of big deep digital. She is an environmentally focused entrepreneur whose career path has been a lovely intermeshing of impact, sustainability, technology and storytelling. Danielle’s background of life & work experience includes environmental study, community action, and business development, beginning as a child when she worked on her first local campaign and charity, and now spanning two decades and four continents.

Her volunteering and activism melded into her career path when she left the US at 22 for five years of independent, international travel, development work and intensive meditation practice in the vipassana tradition. She lived in Laos and created the region’s first college course in Sustainable Development, she volunteered in the Peace Corps in Senegal in Environmental Education, and served in Berlin as the Development Director for the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy. Back in the U.S., she worked in various green and social startups before founding her own ecotravel startup. When this first startup failed, Danielle learned how to code, and launched Green Breakfast Club, a monthly networking event and speaker series for bartering and sharing resources to grow the green startup ecosystem.

Then some health issues happened, and Danielle unexpectedly tabled this venture, giving rise to her next chapter in Tech. She founded and leads big deep digital, a boutique tech firm providing digital services to mission driven ventures. Her passion for technology grew to fully entangle with her love for deep ecology, environmental action and regeneration. This long strange trip led to her joining forces with Jessica Groopman to cofound RegenTech, a new venture to help usher in a new era of technology that is regenerative and in service to life.
