About J Schwan
I am the founder of The Second Mountain, LLC, an early-stage investment fund and coaching platform that helps technology services underdogs break through the $10Mn glass ceiling to become $100Mn+ powerhouse businesses. With over 20 years of experience building socially-responsible digital engineering businesses, I have a passion for growing high-performance organizations that balance people, profit, and planet. Previously, I transformed a legacy printing company into Kin + Carta, a publicly traded global digital consultancy with a B Corp certification and a best place to work culture. I also founded Solstice, a socially responsible digital engineering firm, and scaled it to over four hundred employees across three continents. My leadership philosophy is one of servant leadership; empowering and supporting individuals to learn, grow, and thrive. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and spending time outdoors with my family. I also share practical lessons on how to build a breakthrough tech services company on my YouTube channel at youtube.com/@thesecondmountain. If you think I can help you, please don't hesitate to reach out.
