About
Strategic advisory for startups and scaleups navigating growth, expansion, and the commercial decisions that shape their trajectory.
The Firm
Lewis+Behr is a strategic advisory firm founded in 2017. We partner with founders, leadership teams, and boards on the commercial and strategic decisions that drive growth—market expansion, investment rounds, data privacy architecture, AI integration, and the governance structures that enable global operations.
Our clients range from early-stage startups raising their first institutional round through to established scaleups operating across multiple jurisdictions. We work across SaaS, fintech, consumer tech, enterprise software, e-commerce, edtech, and AI-native companies.
What distinguishes Lewis+Behr is our ability to operate as an embedded strategic partner rather than external adviser—understanding both the commercial and technical dimensions of the challenges our clients face.

Leadership
Founder and Director
Daniel founded Lewis+Behr in 2017 after over a decade advising on complex commercial transactions, M&A, and private equity investments. His background combines degrees in law, mathematics, and science from the University of Melbourne, enabling genuine fluency across commercial, technical, and regulatory dimensions.
Prior to Lewis+Behr, Daniel held senior roles at boutique firms focused on M&A and private equity, working on transactions including Navis Capital Partners' $146M acquisition and multiple private equity-backed deals across APAC.
Over the past three years, Daniel has built and deployed LLM-integrated workflows across client operations—from contract review pipelines to compliance monitoring systems. This hands-on technical experience informs Lewis+Behr's AI advisory practice.
Daniel also serves as a Non-Executive Director of Cultural Infusion, the world's largest workplace culture analytics platform, and as a board member of the Nepalese Dental Foundation.
