About Steven

Hi! I’m a Cleveland Ohio native and currently an Executive in Residence at Altos Ventures (an early stage VC that takes a patient - often multi-decade approach - to investing and supporting companies like Roblox). I've been fortunate enough to have worked on consumer product teams at Instagram, Opendoor and an early stage live events startup. I also 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! Steven LinkedIn: 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!
