About Ishan Dan
Ishan Dan is founder and chief executive of RegenX, an Australian investment platform that prepares clean-energy projects, starting with batteries, for private investment. It helps developers raise capital and gives wholesale and sophisticated investors access at much smaller cheque sizes than traditional infrastructure deals.
He came to RegenX from a long career in finance. He started as a banker at NAB after a banking and finance degree, spent about 15 years as a stockbroker, and worked in sales in Victoria for one of Australia's large wealth management platforms. In 2024 RegenX was building on ASX's Synfini digital ledger network and working with Startupbootcamp and KPMG's High Growth Ventures team.
On Pick My Brain with Alan Jones, he discussed how to grow a two-sided marketplace when both sides move slowly.
