Entrepreneur and seed-stage investor focusing in mental health and psychedelic therapies | Founder @ Turo | Consultant and Speaker
As a seasoned entrepreneur, experienced investor, enthusiastic embodiment facilitator, and an eager student on his own path, Shelby is thrilled to combine his passions, experience, and interests as a partner at Lionheart Ventures. Shelby invests in and supports companies that expand human consciousness, with a specific focus on mental health and psychedelic therapies. Shelby was the founding CEO of the world’s first and largest peer-to-peer carsharing marketplace, Turo, which has become a profitable multi-billion dollar company. The lessons learned, battle scars, and triumphs along the way help Shelby provide direction and empathy to founders on their own journeys. He is a yoga and meditation guide, and has opened a LGBT-focused retreat center in the pristine jungles of Costa Rica. 1:1 Founder coaching is available via the Intro.co platform.
