About Steven
Hi! I’m a Cleveland Ohio native and currently a Co-Founder at Hedgy (hedgy.works). I've been fortunate enough to have previously worked at Altos Ventures as an EIR and on product teams at Instagram and Opendoor. I started my career as a pre-med student working for a Major League baseball team in a strategy and analytics role before attending business school. Through my own experiences and helping others with theirs, I've learned tactics on how to navigate the business school application process and make career transitions (e.g. moving to a new industry or new functional role you may not feel you have relevant experience for). Please reach out if you think I can be helpful. Even if the scheduler doesn't show availability, I'll do my best to find time! Steven https://www.linkedin.com/in/steventshin/
Why do I coach?
It is extremely energizing to help people get to right place in the right role at the right time (whether that's a new role or getting into a graduate program). You can feel when someone enjoys where they're at and what they're doing. I hope to help as many people as I can find that!
