Recognized as one of Baltimore’s “40 Under 40” business leaders by the Baltimore Business Journal and an Entrepreneur of the Year finalist by Ernst & Young, Luke Cooper is a lawyer, serial entrepreneur, speaker, author, and trusted advisor to business, academic, and government leaders.
After raising $7 million, he became the first Black founder in Baltimore to lead a company to a successful “tech exit,” capturing 11x revenues for Fixt, Inc., an on-demand mobile device support and repair company that allows customers to schedule local and onsite repairs of mobile devices.
