Biography
Steve Curtis is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and adventurer who has spent his life treating the impossible as a starting point. After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at 24, he refused to accept the prognosis — and summited Everest instead. That same mindset has shaped everything he has built since: businesses and nonprofits spanning multiple industries and continents, and a venture capital firm focused on deploying capital into innovative technology and healthcare solutions with the potential to solve large-scale societal challenges. With a support team including four-time Iditarod Champion Jeff King, veterinarian Jessica Klejka, DVM, and a team of sled dogs that are incredibly well taken care of, we will see if Steve still has what it takes to successfully achieve the impossible. A special thanks to his loving wife and two children, whose unwavering support makes every endeavor possible.
