About Daniel Edge

Dan Edge is a co-founder of Compeat Performance, the Newcastle-based sports nutrition business he started with Alicia Edge, where he works on product and operations. Compeat pairs athletes with performance dietitians through an app-based service and supports sports programs with education and tools.

Before Compeat, Dan trained as a process engineer and worked in utility infrastructure, including as head of infrastructure asset management at Icon Water in Canberra and later heading engineering and asset management at a utility in the Hunter region. He also represented Australia in hockey.

On Welcome to Day One with Adam Spencer in 2019, he and Alicia Edge explained how they bootstrapped Compeat, went through the ICON Slingshot accelerator and tested their assumptions before spending on growth.
