Teddy Teece is the Managing Partner of Kea Capital Partners (KCP), an investment firm focused on connecting international capital with New Zealand’s light industrial sector. His background includes entrepreneurship, investing, philanthropy, finance, technology, executive coaching, and real estate. Across these areas, he has worked to align business goals with purpose, long-term value, and environmental responsibility. Teddy's family connection to New Zealand extends across five generations. Growing up across two hemispheres and coasts helped shape his international perspective and entrepreneurial approach. In his current work, he supports long-term, lifestyle-oriented investors who want both financial returns and a deeper connection to New Zealand through economic, environmental, and infrastructure investment. As Founder and Managing Partner of KCP, he leads acquisition strategies across New Zealand’s “golden triangle,” with a focus on light industrial businesses. The firm targets established companies that contribute to the country’s infrastructure. He also works with families and investors seeking residency and opportunities to participate meaningfully in the local economy. During his first year in Wharton’s Executive MBA program, Teddy developed the firm’s business plan and investment thesis. The model combines private equity and search fund strategies with local partnerships, community events, and philanthropic opportunities. Earlier in his career, he helped build an investment bank that processed eight- and nine-figure transactions. He also co-founded a marketplace for unique experiences. He later helped create a family business consulting service supporting executives, business families, and next-generation leaders across the United States, the Middle East, and New Zealand. Beyond business, Teddy Teece has developed a nonprofit and executive retreat destination near Boulder, Colorado, focused on connection, reflection, wellness, and community.
