Keith is the MD of the Techstars Future of Longevity Accelerator. The program, run in partnership with Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company created by Melinda French Gates, focuses on innovative solutions to address the unmet needs of older adults and their caregivers Keith was previously the SVP of Accelerators for Techstars globally and was inspired to move to the MD role for this program based on having built a venture-backed startup serving older adults himself, having experienced the gaps in America’s caregiving infrastructure firsthand, and wanting to support entrepreneurs who are building solutions to address this substantial market opportunity.
Prior to Techstars, Keith founded and led the rapid growth of two tech companies in the health and fitness industry – one that reached #20 on the Deloitte Fast 500, and another that made Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 three times. He has raised over $50 million in venture funding, holds several patents for sensor and machine vision technology, has been an angel investor and LP in several venture funds, and enjoys mentoring promising startups. He received a BS in Computer Science from Cornell, and was an LGO Fellow at MIT, where he received an MBA and an MS in EECS.
