Winslow has always been drawn to fundamental understanding. He studied physics (MA) before opting for a PhD in Probability + Statistics. After spending a few years as a postdoctoral researcher in that field, he left wanting a career with more impact. Winslow has been deeply interested in consciousness since he started meditating after a psychosomatic burnout in graduate school. Soon after this, he went on his first meditation retreat and had a major consciousness shift. Since that experience, he has wondered why such transformations are not integrated into Western culture nor studied by Western science.
In an effort to make consciousness development more effective, he co-founded Palo Alto Neuroscience in 2014 to build personalized EEG neurofeedback technology for meditation acceleration. He also started his angel investing around that time, which after the unwinding of the startup in 2016, he dedicated full-time to. Winslow works towards a flourishing future for humanity where consciousness development is a primary pillar of society.
