About

Kevin began programming Apple II computers at eight years old and never turned back. Before graduating college, he co-founded cybersecurity unicorn Lookout. In 2013, Kevin began investing in startups and subsequently joined Y Combinator as a part-time partner. Since then he has invested in companies such as Lattice, People.ai, Airtable, Benchling, and Sublime Security. In his words: "I believe businesses are problems to solve. I'm an engineer who loves solving problems regardless of whether they're speed bumps or opportunities to aggressively accelerate."
