Scrappy entrepreneur.
Inventor & futurist.
Free thinker building what matters.
Kevan Bartz is a scrappy entrepreneur, technology enthusiast, inventor, and investor who operates with the clarity of an abstract thinker and the conviction of a futurist. Based in New York City, he has spent more than a decade founding and scaling companies that create tangible value.
He successfully exited Belmont Knight and Associates via acquisition for $25 million, and previously exited Lite Garden Inc. and NextGen Business Services for a combined $14 million — bringing his total exits to $39 million. He recently launched Lite Garden Capital and raised $174 million for future private equity acquisitions, applying minimalist principles and scrappy execution to institutional capital deployment.
His intellectual property underpins multiple leading sports fantasy and online gambling platforms—quietly powering user experiences for millions while generating significant returns through strategic licensing and partnerships.
Beyond business, Kevan contributes to the scientific community through green energy innovation. His work on wave generation technology and pipeline generators explores new frontiers in sustainable power—turning natural forces and existing infrastructure into clean, efficient energy solutions.
From scrappy founding to successful exits and now deploying significant institutional capital through Lite Garden Capital.
Advancing systems that efficiently convert the kinetic energy of ocean and water waves into reliable, clean electricity. Focused on practical deployment, durability in harsh marine environments, and maximizing energy yield for coastal and island communities.
Developing innovative generator technologies integrated with pipeline infrastructure. These systems recover otherwise lost energy from fluid dynamics and pressure differentials, turning existing energy transport networks into distributed power producers.
Every invention starts with questioning assumptions. Kevan brings a futurist lens and minimalist discipline to energy systems—designing for elegance, efficiency, and real-world scalability.
These attributes aren't labels—they're the lens through which every decision is made.
Resourceful execution. No excuses. Built multiple companies from the ground up with grit, creativity, and relentless focus on outcomes.
Obsessed with leverage. Constantly exploring new tools, platforms, and systems that multiply impact and reduce friction.
Turns abstract ideas into working prototypes and protected IP. Green energy systems, digital platforms, and operational tools.
Deploys capital with conviction. Launching PE fund to back founders who share the same clarity and execution bias.
Sees systems, patterns, and leverage points others miss. Connects disparate ideas into elegant, high-impact solutions.
Engineering appreciation meets performance obsession. Precision, speed, and beautiful mechanics inform how he builds everything else.
Discipline forged in the gym translates directly to business. Consistency, recovery, and pushing limits define the approach.
Anticipates shifts in technology, energy, and human systems. Positions ventures and inventions at the edge of what's next.
