MEET JARED YELLIN
Dad, Husband, Serial Entrepreneur
From a very young age, Jared thought and acted differently. He was known to challenge the status quo every chance he had and was constantly on a path to uncover the meaning in all of life experiences. From selling a self-published newspaper to the entire second grade, to a 6-figure baseball card business in his teens, and eventually selling credit card processing door-2-door in Manhattan and Brooklyn, Jared’s insatiable passion for entrepreneurship was untethered at a very early age. Over this time, he realized the power of his words and how to influence WIN-WIN outcomes whenever the opportunity arises.
"Networks must be WIN-WIN or they are NO WIN."
While attending the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, Jared launched a personal training company that enabled him to pay his way through university. Upon graduation, Jared launched a Reverse Mortgage SaaS company, Silver Financial, with a fellow graduate. Jared had exited his position just months before the subprime debacle which proved to be the optimal time for the sale. This startup was later acquired by Genworth Financial.
After having his first exit at 23, he was introduced to one of the top leaders in the chiropractic industry and launched a health and wellness licensee program that would convert Chiropractic Offices into Wellness Centers and opened locations in nearly 300 cities around the world. During this time, Jared became a sought-after speaker and earned stage time in front of 10,000s of people, where he shared practical and tactical strategies to scale businesses by leveraging relationship capital alone.
In 2010, Jared launched a marketing agency, SYNDUIT, which became uniquely sought after to support thought leaders, achieving 8-figures of revenue within the first year and serving hundreds of clients across 20 industries ranging from healthcare, speakers, authors, coaches, and more.
As one of the first ever “influencer agencies,” the company was constantly in hyper scale mode, but in 2015, Jared realized that his drive for impact would never be fulfilled with SYNDUIT due to the restriction of the amount of people he and his team could support in the current model.
He pivoted the agency into a SaaS marketing platform in order to support everyday small businesses with pre-built content specific to their industry. Jared self-funded the development of the platform which now serves thousands upon thousands of businesses across dozens of industries. Some of his partnerships include the John Maxwell Team, Integrative Institute of Nutrition, Elite Resources, doTERRA, and many other industry leaders and organizations.
Jared always told his team at SYNDUIT that as valuable as the company itself is, by far the most valuable asset is “our documentation.”
Jared took an extremely alternative route to scale SYNDUIT without any outside capital and with zero paid for traffic. All of the scale transpired as a result of launching a portfolio of Private Labels across nearly 15 industries ranging from Dentistry, Chiropractic, Legal, Financial Services, Coaching, and more. Each of these Private Labels would use the “blueprint (aka documentation)” in order to scale efficiently.
Every action requires an INTENTION because an action WITHOUT intention leads to a result without an achievement. Achievements are by CHOICE. Results are by CHANCE. Be INTENTIONAL!
In 2020, Jared launched his next ambitious venture which he coined, “The Grand Entrepreneurial Experiment,” focused on building a predictable linear path to achieve product market fit, capital efficient scale, and exit for early-stage SaaS companies with the goal of eliminating pain and suffering from courageous entrepreneurs.
Jared is extremely active when it comes to supporting the tech ecosystem in Israel where founders have been pulled into combat as a result of the war and no one is currently working on these companies. Jared intends to acquire 100s of these companies in order to keep the dream alive for each Israeli entrepreneur while also providing liquidity upon the acquisition and phantom equity, which will bless the family of each entrepreneur in the future as well and help preserve the second largest tech ecosystem in the world beyond Silicon Valley.
He has also founded the Innovation Bridge Foundation, a public charity with a mission to advance tech innovation and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, while also supporting ventures in distressed regions, including Israel and other countries affected by conflict or with limited economic resources. IBF can accept grants from donor-advised funds and private foundations as well as direct, tax-deductible contributions of cash or assets.
Live with intention.
Outside of being an entrepreneur, Jared’s most significant accomplishment and passion is being a father to his three young children and a husband to his soulmate. Jared’s commitment is to show people - through his actions - that you CAN and MUST have it all.
