Dan Keen is an American business executive and owner of Registered Agents Inc., a registered agent company he founded in 2008. Since 2023, Keen's company has been the owner of Epik, a domain name registrar and web hosting service known for providing services to alt-tech websites that host far-right, neo-Nazi, and other extremist materials.[1]
Prior to founding Registered Agents Inc. in 2008, Keen owned a tree trimming and landscaping business in Idaho.[2] Initially focusing on company incorporation in the Pacific Northwest,[3] Keen grew Registered Agents Inc. into a registered agent incorporating companies throughout the United States.[2] According to Wired, Registered Agents Inc. is a "one-stop shop for people seeking to incorporate a business in any US state, often in those with advantageous tax policies, while obscuring their identities."[2] Registered Agents Inc. uses fictitious personas to mask the identities of its employees and to sign their customers' incorporation documents, according to Wired and a joint investigation by The Washington Post and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.[2][4]
In 2023, Registered Agents Inc. acquired Epik, a domain name registrar and web hosting service catering to far-right and neo-Nazi websites that have been denied service by other internet service providers.[1][5][6][7]
The company also owns a software development company called Two Barrels LLC and a company that helps manage multiple corporation filings called Corporate Tools LLC.[2]
