  Jeffrey Schell

  Leading Colorado Entrepreneur and Patent Lawyer

  Jeff’s mission is to transform innovative concepts into extraordinary companies. After building one of the most successful patent law practices in Colorado, he raised several million dollars to acquire medical device company TranS1’s IP assets. Within a few years of rebuilding TranS1 as CEO, ColoradoBiz Magazine named TranS1 one of the top 250 companies in Colorado by revenue. Under Jeff's leadership, Orthopedics This Week awarded TranS1 the 2017 Spine Technology Award. Jeff had a successful exit from TranS1 in 2018. In addition to building intellectual property strategies with the Rocky Mountain Patent (now part of Hall Estill) team, Jeff now advises, operates and invests in multiple companies. In 2018, Jeff took a significant stake in Proov - evolving its underlying tech into multiple patent pending products and an emerging brand in women's health - and he continues to play a leadership role. Soon thereafter, the company was featured in Forbes and won the “Best Family Tech at CES” award given by Parents Magazine. In 2019, the company won SXSW Startup of the Year. In 2020, the company raised several million dollars in VC and grant funding, gained distribution at leading retailers, won the coveted “Colorado Companies to Watch” recognition, and in 2021 grew to become named as one of the Denver Business Journal’s “25 largest biotechnology companies in Colorado.” Proov closed a $10MM Series A with the involvement of multiple prominent venture capital firms in 2021. In 2019, top tier law firm Hall Estill acquired the rights to his Rocky Mountain Patent practice. Following his departure from Hall Estill as the leader of its Ventures Growth practice, he founded Schell IP specifically to incorporate all aspects of artificial intelligence in a new model for an intellectual property law practice. In 2007, Jeff was a delegate at the Harvard China-India Development & Relations Symposium. ColoradoBiz Magazine named Jeff one of the 25 "Most Influential Young Professionals in Colorado.” He was also a finalist for the Denver Post's "Colorado Innovator of the Year" and "Denver Trailblazer" awards. In 2017, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock invited Jeff to participate in Denver's official trade delegation to South Africa and Kenya. Jeff also served as the President of TiE Denver, a member of the Denver Downtown Partnership Economic Development Council, and has been a representative on multiple boards in the years since. Jeff attended Northwestern University, graduating with degrees in Engineering and Economics in 2004. He subsequently earned his JD and masters degrees in International Studies and Medical Informatics. Jeff separately studied economics at Harvard University. Jeff and his team now selectively work with a limited number of promising clients via Schell IP.
