Teddy Teece is the Managing Partner of Kea Capital Partners (KCP), an investment firm that links international capital with New Zealand’s light industrial sector. He is an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist whose work spans finance, technology, executive coaching, and real estate. Across these fields, he has focused on connecting purpose, profit, and planet while addressing overlooked market inefficiencies and practical business challenges.

Teddy's relationship with New Zealand comes through five generations of family ties, and his dual-hemisphere, bi-coastal early life helped shape his global outlook. This background informs his current work with long-term and lifestyle-oriented investors who seek financial returns while building deeper connections to New Zealand and contributing to its economy, environment, and infrastructure.

As Founder and Managing Partner of KCP, Teddy leads acquisition strategies across New Zealand’s “golden triangle,” with attention on light industrial sectors. The firm focuses on acquiring, growing, and consolidating established businesses that support the country’s infrastructure. Through KCP, he is raising 75M NZD from 15 families and investors seeking residency in New Zealand while making a meaningful contribution to its economy.

Teddy developed KCP’s business plan and thesis during his first year in Wharton’s Executive MBA program. This involved building advisory relationships, stress-testing the plan, and shaping a timely opportunity. KCP now offers a geopolitical insurance product for investors concerned about macroeconomic uncertainty and interested in New Zealand as a safe and stable place to live and invest. His model combines private equity, search fund methods, local partnerships, community events, and philanthropic opportunities.

Before founding KCP, Teddy served as Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of an investment bank that processed eight and nine-figure transactions. He also co-founded a marketplace for unique experiences through an incubator and created partnerships with major providers. In consulting, he co-founded a leadership and family business advisory service that supports business families, executives, and next-generation leaders across the United States, the Middle East, and New Zealand.

Teddy has also developed a nonprofit and executive retreat destination near Boulder, Colorado, improving a forty-acre property for connection, reflection, wellness, and community. Since 2017, he has supported Navy SEAL families through a foundation and helped raise six- and seven-figure sums for charities.

Teddy graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies, earned recognition for the university’s best senior essay, competed as an NCAA Division I lightweight rower, and played rugby.

Today, Teddy Teece works with a New Zealand-based team, supports charitable organizations, writes, drums, works the land, and seeks adventure. He remains focused on service, stewardship, and partnerships that support lasting organizations and communities.

Sam Rajamanickam, AIA, WELL AP, is a Principal at Design Collective who focuses on student housing and campus life facilities. Over 30 years, he has partnered with institutions including Marquette University, the University of Idaho, Bowie State University and Rutgers University to plan and deliver residence life environments that support belonging, wellness, and student connection.

Sam became interested in Third Place theory while observing a persistent challenge: students living in close proximity yet feeling increasingly isolated. This paradox led him to explore how Ray Oldenburg's sociological framework could become a practical tool for housing professionals to evaluate and strengthen campus environments.

His approach emphasizes that physical design, programming, and policy must work together as an integrated system. As a WELL Accredited Professional, he brings wellness expertise to creating spaces that serve all students, with particular attention to equity, accessibility, and psychological safety—empowering housing officers to audit existing spaces and intentionally design environments where students naturally connect.

I am an Android Software Engineer at iFood, one of the largest food delivery platforms in the world, processing over 120 million orders per month. As part of the Order Delivery team, I work on critical flows that every order passes through, directly impacting the experience of millions of users. My expertise spans app performance, scalability, monitoring, and the delivery of robust solutions for complex distributed systems.

In recent years, I have expanded my focus into Edge AI and on-device machine learning. I’ve been actively researching and building proof of concepts using Android’s ML Kit Prompt APIs and on-device generative models, exploring how Edge AI can move from experimentation to real product features. My work investigates practical trade-offs between cloud and on-device AI, including latency, privacy, cost, and scalability, always with a production-first mindset. I am particularly interested in transforming AI capabilities into tangible user value within large-scale mobile applications.

My journey in monitoring began during an internship, where I gained hands-on experience working on large-scale systems. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of designing effective observability strategies, integrating tools such as Analytics, Crashlytics, and health monitoring into development lifecycles. At iFood, I have been responsible for implementing scalable monitoring solutions to ensure operational reliability and an exceptional user experience.

Academically, I hold a degree in Control and Automation Engineering from UNICAMP and I am currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in Software Engineering, also at UNICAMP. My research paper, "Effective Monitoring of Mobile Applications in Production," received top marks and strengthened my ability to bridge theory and real-world engineering challenges. More recently, my academic and professional interests have converged around applied AI in mobile environments, especially the evolution of Edge AI in Android ecosystems.

Beyond work, I am deeply involved in the Android community. I have attended and spoken at international conferences, including Droidcon Berlin 2024 and AndroidMakers by Droidcon Paris, where I share insights on practical on-device AI and scalable mobile architectures. My talks focus on actionable strategies, real-world experimentation, and how to responsibly bring emerging AI technologies into production-grade apps.
