Sean Lindsay

A veteran of a half dozen startups, Sean is an accomplished technical entrepreneur and leader with a strong history designing and delivering new products to emerging markets. He currently serves as Chief Technology Officer at Tapjoy where he leads teams responsible for the development and operation of software and systems powering the mobile industry's leading personalized monetization solution for freemium app developers, serving more than 500 million monthly active users worldwide. He joined Tapjoy via the acquisition of Viximo, where he was Co-Founder and CTO. At Viximo, he lead the development of a multi-million dollar social game publishing business, serving millions of users worldwide. Previously, Sean served in a variety of engineering and technology leadership roles at PanGo (acquired by InnerWireless), BEA (ultimately acquired by Oracle), Upromise (ultimately acquired by Sallie Mae), and Novera (acquired by Mercator).

Sean is also on the board of directors or advisory board of a number of early stage companies and created the independent Founder Mentors program to match new entrepreneurs with experienced mentors. He has been called "irrationally helpful" for his tireless efforts assisting new teams and the entrepreneurial student community. And he recognizes none of this would be possible without his understanding wife, inspiring little boys, and increasingly ridiculous beard.
