Kevin Van Eekeren
Kevin Van Eekeren started his career as a logistics officer for a SWAT team before starting Fulcrum Tactical. 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 Chicago 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.
