At 19, Dominic McGregor co-founded Social Chain, a scrappy startup with big ambitions. What started as a bold idea quickly transformed into a global marketing powerhouse worth $300 million. As COO, Dominic wasn’t just along for the ride, he was in the trenches, scaling the company to 750 employees and securing heavyweight clients like Apple, Amazon and McDonald’s. By 2019, Social Chain marked a major milestone and went public before Dominic stepped away from the business in 2020.
Now 31, Dominic is back in the game as a founding partner of Fearless Adventures, not just funding startups but rolling up his sleeves to help founders scale with strategy, mentorship and hands-on support. His sharp insights on growth, resilience and innovation make him a sought-after advisor across industries.
And he’s not stopping there. Through Fearless Adventures Academy, he’s shaping the future, equipping the next wave of talent with cutting-edge digital marketing skills. Whether building businesses, backing founders or training tomorrow’s leaders, Dominic isn’t just watching the future unfold — he’s helping create it.
