The Team

The People Behind Tangia

We're a small team of streamers, engineers, and product thinkers based in San Francisco — building the tools we always wished we had.

Core Team

Meet the Founders

Dan Goodman

CEO & Founder

Dan spent six years building an audience on Twitch before founding Tangia. He understands the creator's perspective from the inside — and built the platform he always needed but could never find. Based in San Francisco, he leads the company's vision and strategy.

Maya Chen

Head of Product

Maya came to Tangia from a senior product role at a major live entertainment platform. She obsesses over interaction design and the psychology of what makes audiences stay engaged. Every feature Tangia ships goes through her hands before it reaches creators.

Jordan Rivera

Head of Engineering

Jordan built real-time systems at scale before joining Tangia. He's the reason Tangia's TTS engine works in under 300ms and why the platform has never had a major outage during a high-viewership event. If it's fast and stable, Jordan made it that way.

Life at Tangia

Remote-First. Async by Default. Builders Only.

We work the way the best streamers do — on your own schedule, with deep focus time built in and meetings treated as a last resort. The Tangia team is distributed across time zones but aligned on what matters.

We don't measure hours. We measure shipped features, creator impact, and retention numbers. If you do your best work at 2am or 6am, that's fine. What we care about is the output.

Every team member at Tangia is also an active part of the streaming community. We use the tools we build. We know what "feels right" because we feel it ourselves. That closeness to the product is non-negotiable.
