Kevin Van Eekeren – Founder and CEO of Fulcrum Investing, Fulcrum Farms
Kevin started his career as a logistic officer for a SWAT team, giving him insight into the criminal justice world. He soon found that training SWAT teams was the best way to reduce use of force while ensuring the national security of our country. Fulcrum Tactical was born out of that idea and within 18 months he took it from a charity to a for-profit company. He started investing in startups on the side but focused on Fulcrum Tactical and his new venture, Fulcrum Farms — a sustainable farm producing high quality meat and eggs for families and restaurants in the Chicagoland area. After 6 years, Kevin sold Fulcrum Tactical and moved on to investing in startups full time by starting Fulcrum Investing. He also spends his free time co hosting a podcast called The State of Logic.
