He has over 22 years of experience in the technical staffing industry, spending 12 years as the president of TEKsystems, a multi-billion dollar information technology staffing and services company.

As an early-stage investor, Keith is passionate about cutting edge technologies and making an early positive impact on a company’s road to success. When evaluating startups, he believes the three of the most important elements are team, market and product. He looks for teams that work well together, are coachable, understand the market, can sell the product, and have technical and financial competence. When examining the market, he looks for the size of the market, the barriers to entry, and the competitive landscape. Finally, the product has to solve a problem, have clear users, and must be differentiated.
