T. Reid Lewis

Hi! I’m Reid,

I help people accomplish their goals and work as part of fast moving teams that change the world by making innovative new products including software, hardware, and medical products.

I advise, invest, and work as a contract executive in early stage companies with TRL Growth Advisors and Yabusame Partners, LLC.

At BMNT under the Navy Launch Program, I advise SBIR funded US Navy contractors who are also selling to commercial customers to help them grow their businesses and be better suppliers for the US Navy.

At the Trinity College Entrepreneurship Center, I work as an EIR and program lead helping students learn through experience how to build and test innovations and commercialize their innovations through entrepreneurial ventures.

I recently transitioned out of my role at Perfusion Medical, where I worked as product manager on dosing and packaging for a development stage drug to treat hemorrhagic shock in military and civilian trauma victims and for other ischemic conditions.

I recently transitioned out of my role at James Madison Innovations, where I worked as an Entrepreneur In Residence (EIR) helping to commercialize research with the support of VIPC.

Before this, I worked as Chief Product Officer (CPO) to build the future of fundraising tools at FrontStream and Product Manager to build a new mobile expense app at Mastercard.

Before that, I worked as as a contract product management executive  for startup Thermohalt to improve lithium-ion batteries which power humanity's renewable energy future. Thermohalt technology makes batteries that are predictable, safer,  and last longer. And I worked with startups Transplant Logistics, tracking organ delivery with IoT, and Heuresy, in hardware wallets to secure cryptocurrency credentials.

Before that, I co-founded and helped lead Proxidyne, where we created IoT solutions, and GroupLogic, where we created more than a dozen software solutions including activEcho & mobilEcho enterprise solutions, ExtremeZ-IP file server solution and the MassTransit file transfer solution.

I help entrepreneurs as a Mindshare alum, a co-founder of DukeGEN, a community for Dukie entrepreneurs, mentor for Duke I&E, and with Maryland's TEDCO. I help lead other alumni organizations serving as a a co-founder of Duke Alumni Climate and Sustainability, a community for Dukie climate professionals and a co-founder of DukeJournos, a community for Duke journalists.

To help everyone easily make introductions and give referrals, I created Induco app for iPhone.

During long trips by car, train or plane, and on bike rides and runs, I read or listen to audio books and podcasts including The Full Ratchet, Projectified, TheLongNow and Main Engine Cutoff.
