Dave Schools

Hi, I'm Dave.

I live in Bel Air, MD with my wife and three kids.

I’m part of the founding team of Hopin, currently serving as VP Multiproduct Growth. I helped grow the company to $100M ARR during the pandemic and launch Hopin: Chapter Two as a multiproduct brand.

I'm the owner and editor of Entrepreneur's Handbook, a top 5 Medium publication with over 220k followers covering entrepreneurship, startups, tech, and design. Mike Allen, cofounder of Axios, referred to me as an "entrepreneurship expert."

I'm a former columnist at Inc.com, where I wrote about innovation, creativity, and business ideas. Once, I interviewed Shark Tank's Daymond John, founder of FUBU, Inc., a $6 billion global brand.

I’m a former Trends writer for The Hustle and contributor to CNBC Make It. My work has been featured in The Next Web, Smashing Magazine, Business Insider, Quartz, Thought Catalog, and Fortune.

I'm the author of Runaway Millionaire, a 384-page novel about a family tested by crime, betrayal, and radical forgiveness.

I'm the cofounder of Party Qs, Inc., a conversation starter app on a mission to help people have quality conversations, available in the App Store and Play Store.

I publish a weekly newsletter every Thursday about companies, founders, and ideas I’m obsessed with. Add your email here to receive the next one:
