KVCC Person/Group of The Week is Polar

Each week, a person or group is promoted for their work in creating or improving a product or service. If Keane Venture Capital and Consulting has any relationship with the person or group, it will be disclosed. The weekly highlight does not mean that KVCC is recommending a purchase of a product or service. The article is not sanctioned by the individual or group. 

This week, the group of the week is the wearable technology company Polar. They were chosen because of their consistent, extensive, and successful work done in this area for over 30 years. The amount of new wearable tech companies along with companies that are regularly focused on other areas that now are entering this market is a true validation to the vision and plan of the founders and employees of Polar. So while you will hear about all the new this and new that about heart monitors from other companies, know that Polar has been doing it for three decades. 


Previous People or Groups of the week include John Legere and T-Mobile, Not Imposssible Labs and Time, Good Guide, AngelList, Patagonia, Blackrock Group, and Nest

KVCC Person/Group of The Week

Each week, a person or group is promoted for their work in creating or improving a product or service. If Keane Venture Capital and Consulting has any relationship with the person or group, it will be disclosed. The weekly highlight does not mean that KVCC is recommending a purchase of a product or service. The article is not sanctioned by the individual or group.

This week's Person of The Week is Larry Fink. Mr. Fink is the CEO and founder of The Blackrock Group. His leadership of the firm as well as outlook on the global economy is second to none. He recently was on Bloomberg's Market Makers with Eric Shatzker and Stephanie Ruhle (link here) and spoke about macro events that will shape the global economy in the next year. It was brought up in the interview that he is still advising 100% stake in equities for the current time and has been of this opinion for at least two years. Imagine the return if you followed his advice. 

At one point this year, Mr. Fink was considered for top governmental posts such as Treasury Secretary or head of the Federal Reserve. He does work very well with government officials on both sides of the aisle. When looking for a leader in the finance industry, the search stops when Mr. Fink is found. He doesn't put himself or his ego in front of his company or business. This puts his opinion in good standing with analysts and customers. There is a trust level that is rarely seen.
