As we all navigate this difficult time together, we are happy to share some positive news.  Today, we are excited to welcome Kevin Sandhu, founder and former CEO of Grow, to Rhino as an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR)! 

Here is an overview of Kevin will be doing at Rhino:

• Investing: From first meeting through to investment, Kevin will be able to lead investments for Rhino 
• Post Investment: He will be advising founders and acting as a board member for some Rhino investee companies
• Ideation:  Kevin, once a founder always a founder, will be also be working on validating and invalidating ideas for his next venture

Kevin has lived the highs and lows of the startup journey, navigated multiple pivots, and successfully came out the other side. He brings relevant and relatable experience that our companies and founders will greatly benefit from. With Kevin joining our team, we are adding firepower to our ability to be the best partner for early-stage companies in Western Canada. 

Embracing his entrepreneurial spirit from a young age - Kevin started his first company at age 11. He went on to study electrical engineering, math, and finance, which led him to spend 10 years in investment banking and private equity. Kevin then returned to his entrepreneurial roots and founded Grow Technologies, an enterprise software company empowering financial innovation using technology and data analytics.  Grow was acquired by ATB Financial in November 2019.

We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work closely with Kevin again. With his passion for both entrepreneurship and technology, combined with his quirky personality, we know he’ll make a great addition to the Rhino team.

If you’re the founder of an early-stage fintech, data analytics, AI, and/or SaaS company, reach out to Kevin at kevin@rhinoventures.vc.
