I had the absolute pleasure of working with Shayne Adler during Techstars Startup Weekend Orlando.

What stood out immediately was Shayne’s ability to bridge data intelligence and business strategy in a fast-moving startup environment. While her professional background is in data compliance, she brought so much more to the table — driving market validation, defining our customer segments with precision, and keeping our entire strategy grounded in reality.

Shayne has that rare mix of analytical rigor and entrepreneurial intuition — she doesn’t just look at the numbers; she translates them into stories, opportunities, and decisions that move things forward.

She’s a true professional, a clear thinker under pressure, and someone I personally learned a lot from during those intense 54 hours. Any founder or startup team would be lucky to have her insights guiding their direction.
