BIO

Raised in Wisconsin by a family of entrepreneurs, I grew up sweeping floors in my family’s machine shop. For my grandpa, the shop was his American dream. Today, I'm working to restore the American dream for other families by investing in startups unlocking wealth and health for everyday Americans.

In my former life, I was a VC-backed founder helping clean energy projects win $185M+ in grants and tax credits. In college, I developed AI and tech ethics curriculum used in 425+ schools. Those experiences hopefully make me a more empathetic partner to the founders we back at Core.

Kyle has unique kindness, unwavering values, and fierce loyalty. As a leader, his duality of relentless work ethic and uncompromising personal values makes him truly exceptional. Anyone lucky enough to cross paths with him in business or life is better for it.
