Teddy Shalon Email & Phone Number

I am an entrepreneur, executive, and investor focused on multidisciplinary, technology-based startups. Driven by my insatiable curiosity and congenital impatience, I started my first company at 22, developing surgical devices. I then co-founded Ivy Technologies, a medical informatics company. My goal was to make a million dollars by the time I was 29 and retire. I accomplished only half of that goal.Following Ivy's acquisition, I cofounded Metaphase, an incubator where I oversaw all technical and clinical developments of medical devices. I later became a co-founder and Chairman of Synteni, a Palo Alto-based developer of microarrays for measuring gene expression.More recently, I cofounded Theracaine, LiveLight, Airxpanders, Osteogenix, BioPolymerix, ThinOPTICS, and WaterGuru.I could never give up my passion to make a difference. The talent I would most like to have is patience. I want to be the world’s best at asking great questions. My favorite book is The Evolution of Everything. My favorite quote 'I'd rather have questions that can not be answered, than answers that can not be questioned'.I hold over 50 patents, an MS in Computer Science, a BA in Physics, and a BS in Electrical Engineering.Speech on startups to Lonza Management Conference here: https://vimeo.com/204445443?share=copy
