Jeff Scheinrock learned about entrepreneurship at an early age, primarily watching his parents manage their own electrical engineering business. After earning his bachelor's degree in business from the University of Southern California, Scheinrock was made a senior partner in charge of the entrepreneurial services group of Arthur Young and Company’s Los Angeles office, and then sky-rocketed as the Vice Chairman of Finance for Packard Bell, a company whose sales increased from zero to $7 billion in six years. 

At Packard Bell he negotiated equity investments from Groupe Bull and NEC, and set up operations throughout Europe and Asia, successfully negotiating tax incentives from the different countries. He has also negotiated in excess of $1 billion in bank debt and $3 billion in trade credit from companies such as Intel, Microsoft, Panasonic, Tatung, Lite-On, Seagate and others, handling the negotiation and structuring of all acquisitions, including Zenith Data Systems and Ark Interface Software. Jeff also served as Vice Chairman/CFO of Kistler Aerospace Corporation and formulated the capital raising plan for a successful raise of $350 million in equity in 1997.

A registered CPA, Scheinrock served from 2010 to April 2020 as an officer and board member of Originate, which invests capital, elite engineering talent, and startup expertises into high-potential opportunities. The company, the result of a 2010 merger between Scheinrock Advisory Group and Originate Labs, built products that define the future, utilizing expertise that includes software innovation (mobile/web development, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency) and strategic consulting (turnaround, product development, market research). Scheinrock is also a former member of GKM Newport Generation Funds, a fund of funds that manages over $950 million for investments into venture capital funds and private equity buyout funds. 

As the Assistant Dean and Faculty Director of MBA Applied Management Programs at UCLA Anderson School of Management, Scheinrock oversaw the business capstones for all three of UCLA’s MBA programs including, full-time, fully employed, and executive MBA as well as a recurring lecturer on business plan development and negociations.
