For over a decade successful serial entrepreneur Shawn Glinter has been in love with helping students & entrepreneurs with their startups and early stage companies. His background reveals a vast experience and explains the passion he’s shown as he has helped, advised, and worked with over five dozen first-time founders and mentored 1000’s of companies. Shawn’s strengths are as a startup operator- building companies and understanding the challenges faced while executing the proof of concept validation, acquiring customers, raising capital, and designing strategy. Shawn provides mentorship, counsel, and strategic advise to entrepreneurs. His career began in emergency medicine and hospital administration (George Washington University Health System and MedStar Health in Washington, DC, and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN). He then launched a SAAS startup focused around the utilization of AED’s and the implementation of Public Access Defibrillation Programs. Not long after that, he started a technology company, which sold to a firm in Silicon Valley. After a couple of false starts and several successful startups, Shawn became a founding partner in a medical reimbursement company that ran out of gas. Through that experience, Shawn learned a lot about himself and entrepreneurship. Most recently, Shawn was a co-founder & CEO of a life sciences (water technology) company for an entity located in the USA, Canada, and Europe. In just over 3.5 years, he successfully grew that company from $600K to 11M (which eventually sold).
