SYDNIE KEDDINGTON
2023 CHAIR
Sydnie has served as a Venture Madness Board Member since 2020, and is the 2023-2024 Board Chair. In 2019 she joined Kickstart, a pre-seed/seed fund focused on the Mountain West region, and Utah’s most active VC firm. She has since led 8 investments and served as a Board Director/Observer for 10 companies spanning across Enterprise and SMB SaaS, Healthtech, Medical Devices, e-commerce, EdTech, Gaming, AI/ML, and Music Tech.
After 5 incredible years with the firm, she recently joined a portfolio company, Music.AI (formerly known as Moises) where she is building out the go-to-market motion for their B2B product as their second Sales/Business Development hire. She has closely supported the company alongside Gavin Christensen (Kickstart Founder and Managing Partner) since leading their seed round in 2021. She also wrote / recorded Moises’s first (and her first) platform demo song, which has now been played by millions of users. She has loved her involvement in the Arizona ecosystem and looks forward to remaining deeply engaged in the tech scene, now on the startup side.
