Luke Cooper, JD, MBA, CEO of startup Fixt
Luke Cooper is the founder and CEO of Fixt, a device repair startup. Before moving into entrepreneurship, Mr. Cooper started his career as an attorney at DLA Piper and then at State Farm.
His first entrepreneurial experience was joining Caldwell Technology Solutions, a security software startup, as employee No. 1. Within 18 months, Mr. Cooper guided them to a $60 million exit. His second entrepreneurship experience was with Brigham's Ice Cream, a 100-year-old ice cream manufacturer and restaurant chain, which eventually was sold to HP Hood, a food and dairy giant. Mr. Cooper’s third venture is now Fixt, a Baltimore-based tech startup that marries the concept of mobile device repair and “on-demand” services like Uber. Fixt was accelerated through the Techstars program, has raised significant capital, and has acquired enterprise clients such as Home Depot, T. Rowe Price, and Johns Hopkins. Mr. Cooper’s diverse tech experience as both a leader and entrepreneur has earned him a place on the TEDCO board of directors. In addition to his JD, he holds an MBA from Babson College.
