KittyHawk Ventures is named after Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where the Wright Brothers flew the world’s first airplane and launched a new era in human mobility. The firm was founded by Will Weisman in 2015 at Singularity University, a place that has witnessed the birth of new technologies, new industries and new chapters in human achievement. For almost seven years, Will was an Executive Director at Singularity where he helped lead the organization and build and run the large summits around the world. As a platform with over 170 chapters in 159 countries, and over 200k community members, SU provides extraordinary access to what is happening at the forefront of technological change along with the opportunity to connect with some of the world’s leading scientists, academics, investors, entrepreneurs, business executives and government officials. Will brings these insights and his extensive network to his efforts around KittyHawk and its portfolio. As a result KittyHawk leverages a very broad range of relationships to source, vet and support portfolio companies in the Singularity University ecosystem and beyond.
