About Kyle

He has spent the past 15 years driving the success of multiple companies at different stages, from bootstrapped and venture-backed through successful acquisition – serving as founder, executive, advisor, and operator.

Mr. Kahveci founded his first company at the age of 16 and built software used by over a million people before he was 20. He graduated with a pre-medical bachelor’s degree from Boston University in the fields of biology and public health. He developed scientific thinking as a biological researcher at Boston University’s School of Medicine and Harvard University’s School of Public Health.

Through the experience of starting a profitable bootstrapped technology firm, directly hiring and managing over 50 people, working alongside teams in over 15 countries, and growing through an acquisition, Mr. Kahveci realized his calling is to make the world a better place through technology. Currently, he is President and Co-Founder of ACEA, VIP at the Harvard Innovation Lab, MassChallenge finalist, and TiE ScaleUp graduate. The company is quickly becoming a dominant force as a centralized data platform to improve how credentialed professionals learn throughout their careers.

Mr. Kahveci is a frequent speaker at client conferences and organizations such as Harvard Medical School, Boston University Questrom School of Business, TiE Global, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge Innovation Center, Boston New Tech, Sunbridge Partners, General Assembly, Chinese-American Bio-Medical Association (CABA), MassChallenge, Japan America Academic Center (JAAC), and BUILD.

Kyle lives with his wife and three children in Boston and enjoys spending his spare time outdoors, listening to audiobooks, coaching or playing soccer, creating multimedia art, producing music, writing, and improving his pickleball game.
