Kiren works at the earliest point in a technology's development, before the path to commercialization is established. As a Venture Strategist, he operates at the interface of research and market, shaping emerging technologies at the concept stage. His work spans the full arc of a venture's development: from opportunity identification and corporate formation through operational build-out, financing, and market entry.

Kiren began in operations research at EDS, a global enterprise technology firm, working across finance, media, and healthcare sectors. He went on to build and operate early internet ventures before founding LinkFoundation, an information architecture practice that helped major institutions in education and healthcare design and build strategies around large-scale data. Keycept, founded in 2007, brought those threads together into a single practice focused on concept-stage technology transfer.
