Kate Ritter
Founder + CEO
Pattern recognizer. Closer. The person who saw the spatial layer before the market had language for it.
OUR BEGINNING
She kept saying 'but could it also...'"
Kate Ritter was explaining what she was building to friends, to other mothers, to anyone who would listen. And every time she did, she watched the same thing happen. Their faces lit up. And then came the questions. Could it help with flooring? What about paint? Do you have outdoor furniture? Then the data started coming in. Users playing for five minutes. Then ten. Then a consistent twenty-five to thirty. Some for three or four hours. Not because they had to. Because they couldn’t stop. That’s not engagement. That’s love. And you can’t manufacture that — you can only build something worth it.
THE PLATFORM
The spatial layer between how people live and how the world reaches them.
Homekynd turns any photo into a dimensionally accurate, shoppable 3D digital twin of a real home. Not a render. Not someone else's room. Yours. Every object placed, moved, purchased, or removed is tracked and indexed by zip code — building the world's only behavioral dataset of how real people live in and furnish their homes. The result compounds with every session. Every room. Every interaction.

BUILT TO LAST
We filed the patents before anyone asked us to.
When you see something ten years before the market does, you protect it. Two non-provisional patents cover what makes Homekynd unique today — and what will make it irreplaceable tomorrow. The patent process isn't just legal infrastructure. It's a discipline. It forces you to think through every implication of what you're building before the market catches up. We did that work early. On purpose.
THE BUILDERS
The right people were waiting for this problem.
This isn't a first-time team betting on a good idea. It's a team of people who've done hard things before and chose to do this one together.
Travis Carona
CTO
His seventh company. Five exits. The technical architect who knows what it takes to build something that lasts.

Ryan Henrich
VP of Sales
His seventh company. Multiple exits. He's closed deals that seemed impossible.
THE BELIEVERS
The people who said yes before it was obvious.
Every company worth building has people who showed up early — not because it was safe, but because they could see it.
