Daniel Gura is the Founder and Principal of Prometheus Impact, a firm dedicated to helping capital fulfill its highest purpose—expanding opportunity, strengthening communities, and enabling generational prosperity. With over 15 years of experience at the intersection of finance, impact investing, and community development, Daniel brings a long view approach to deploying capital where it can catalyze lasting and equitable change.

 

Before founding Prometheus Impact, Daniel served as Founder and Executive Director of Habitat Capital (HCap) and Vice President of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI). HCap is HFHI’s nationwide CDFI, providing capital to Habitat affiliates that operate as nonprofit real estate developers and mortgage lenders. In this role, Daniel helped reimagine how mission-driven capital could operate at scale—designing innovative investment strategies that expanded access to affordable homeownership and community development financing across the country. Under his leadership, HCap grew from a team of 3 to 17 and a balance sheet of $10MM to more than $250MM in total assets. Over 10 years, HCap invested in more than 200 projects, catalyzing nearly $1BN in total development and supporting more than 4,500 affordable homeownership opportunities.

Throughout his career, Daniel has focused on building financial structures that endure—pairing disciplined capital markets expertise with a deep respect for community-led outcomes. His experience spans mission-based investing at Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), where he oversaw portfolio management and underwriting operations, as well as traditional finance roles at Bank of America in leveraged finance and fixed income research. He also brings alternative investment experience from his time at Gallery Capital Management, where he worked with specialty insurance risk and trading strategies.

 

Daniel holds a Bachelor of Arts from Williams College, where he studied American politics and theater while also participating in varsity soccer. Rooted in the belief that strong communities require both resources and stewardship, he serves as Chair of the Williamstown Affordable Housing Trust and as a board member of the Grove Park Foundation in Atlanta.
