Jason Shen
The Outlier Coach
About
First‑gen immigrant and Stanford gymnast turned YC founder.
My journey: New England grit → Silicon Valley insight → New York hustle. Three startups, one Facebook exit, and two books (The Path to Pivot, weirdly brilliant) later, I help ambitious misfits build careers that excite them long after the applause fades.
My coaching blends startup battle scars with championship-athlete discipline so founders and outliers from Y Combinator, Meta, and Google can make bold moves without losing their souls.
Weird brilliance beats conventional mediocrity—let’s wield yours.
