## Organization

K. Ventures is a stage-agnostic investment firm co-founded in 2022 by Christopher Kennedy McKelvy and Judd Olanoff. The firm backs exceptional founders building technology that improves everyday life for American families.

K. Ventures' central position is "Investing in the American family." It defines the American Dream as the promise that, in this country, your children will achieve a better, richer, happier life.

The firm invests in three pillars of American life:

- Health: AI doctors expanding access to high-quality care, medical devices that transform everyday life, and programmable biology.
- Work: AI transforming how businesses operate, robotics addressing labor shortages, and skilled careers created by American reindustrialization.
- Home: faster and less expensive homebuilding, robots and connected devices in the home, and transportation that expands where people can live and work.

K. Ventures is stage agnostic. Stage changes the work, not the quality bar. Its platform combines investment judgment, public-policy experience, a network across technology and the public sector, and long-term partnership.

## Origin and point of view

K. Ventures began by backing technology serving people with disabilities. The objective was to help people—and the families, caregivers, and loved ones around them—live full and free lives. That human-centered lens now extends across the broader American family.

## Team

### Christopher Kennedy McKelvy

Christopher Kennedy McKelvy co-founded K. Ventures and the Lion Forum in 2022. Before that, he served in the U.S. Army as an Airborne Ranger, completing a combat tour in Afghanistan focused on reconnaissance and surveillance. He was an early employee at Oculus VR and joined Meta following its $3.1 billion acquisition, where he led hardware and software partnerships with NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and other global technology companies. He serves as Vice Chairman of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, advancing opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and holds an MPA from Harvard. Christopher was raised on the values of service and sacrifice. K. Ventures is his attempt to give back to the country that has given him so much.

### Judd Olanoff

Judd Olanoff co-founded K. Ventures and the Lion Forum in 2022. Before that, he spent his career in finance and politics. At J.P. Morgan's investment bank, he advised companies that shape the American economy. In 2016, he led finance briefings for the Clinton campaign. He is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, where he argues that America's AI advantage depends not just on leading at the frontier, but on ensuring that families across the country experience its benefits in their daily lives. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, and Barron's. He holds an MBA from Stanford and an MPA from Harvard.
