Background

Seymour is now a leading authority on internet marketing and crowdfunding.
Education
Segnit grew up in London, where he went to Westminster School near Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. Although he admits that formal education was never his forte, he studied engineering at Oxford University. In his early career, Segnit worked at ad agencies Ogilvy & Mather and Saatchi & Saatchi and was a radio broadcaster at Europe's #1 commercial station, Capital Radio.
After moving to the U.S. in 1997, Segnit was co-founder of a $25-million venture-funded Silicon Valley startup. Website ventures and internet marketing followed in the decade after, including an attempt to transform transportation and even helping individuals get relief from fears and phobias. Prior to MAGFAST, Segnit started his first USB charging company, which grew far too quickly and, as he puts it, “provided the excruciatingly painful experience needed to make MAGFAST a success.” In 2017, Segnit’s laser-focus and entrepreneurial spirit led him to find the missing piece in the consumer market: wireless charging.
