Professor, alum named to Crain’s Chicago Business’ 40 under 40

Clinical Assistant Professor of Innovation & Entrepreneurship David Schonthal ’09 was recently recognized as one of Crain’s Chicago Business’ “40 under 40.”

Schonthal, along with Kellogg alumni Andrew Cittadine ’98 and Steven Collens ’01, formed MATTER, an incubator designed to help innovators navigate the byzantine, convoluted path medical devices must take to market.

Schonthal told Crain’s that the idea to create a local health-tech incubator came from a simple thought: “Why can’t we do cool stuff in Chicago?”
