Ideas exist in abundance, people that know how to bring an idea to life do not.

  • Founders with that unstoppable force “it factor”
  • An unfair competitive advantage
  • An idea or brand that I think people will love

What I look for in a team

  • Single-minded determination
  • Great communicators
  • Competitive spirit
  • Fearlessness
  • Transparency and Empathy

Sectors I invest in

  • Media
  • FinTech

  • eSports
  • FoodTech

About

Scott Kitun

I’m a Chicago-based entrepreneur focused on building and investing in early stage growth companies that leverage media as a core competency.

As CEO of Technori, I've played a small role in shaping Chicago into one of the largest and most inclusive tech ecosystems in the world by creating the first-ever radio show and podcast that enables startups to fundraise directly from a live audience of both accredited and retail investors; resulting in more than $350 million invested via equity crowdfunding, angel groups, and traditional venture capital.

As an operator, I've successfully acquired and sold two media companies while investing in nearly a dozen other startups (including 3 with exits).
