Teddy Teece

Teddy Teece is the Managing Partner of KEA Capital Partners, an investment firm that connects international capital with New Zealand’s light industrial sector. He is an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist with experience in finance, technology, executive coaching, and real estate. His work has focused on bringing together purpose, profit, and planet while addressing overlooked market gaps and broader business challenges. Teddy's ties to New Zealand go back five generations, and his dual-hemisphere, bi-coastal early life shaped his global outlook. That background continues to influence his current work with long-term and lifestyle-oriented investors who seek financial returns while building deeper connections to New Zealand and supporting its economy, environment, and infrastructure. As Founder and Managing Partner of KEA Capital Partners, Teddy leads acquisition strategies across New Zealand’s “golden triangle,” with a focus on light industrial sectors. The firm seeks to acquire, grow, and consolidate established businesses that serve as important parts of the country’s infrastructure. Through KEA Capital Partners, he is raising funds from investors who want to establish residency in New Zealand and contribute to its economy. Teddy developed KEA Capital Partners’s business plan and investment thesis during his first year in Wharton’s Executive MBA program. This included forming advisory relationships, testing the business plan, and shaping a timely opportunity. KEA Capital Partners 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. Before founding KEA Capital Partners, Teddy Teece helped build an investment bank as Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, where the firm processed eight and nine-figure transactions. He also co-founded a marketplace for unique experiences through an incubator and built partnerships with major providers.
