Daniel Ha

Daniel Ha is an American entrepreneur, the co-founder and CEO of blog comment platform Disqus.

Ha started Disqus with his co-founder, Jason Yan, in 2007. Ha and Yan had known each other since the 7th grade. At the time, Ha was attending the University of California, Davis, where he was studying computer engineering.

After registering disqus.com as a catchy domain to be used for any number of projects that they had in mind, the project evolved from just a domain registration into a blog comment platform. Once off the ground they applied and got accepted to Y Combinator, a startup incubator, and with that footing were able to secure more meetings with investors, eventually raising $10 million in funding in May 2011.
