Brad Kent
Co-founder of Tanis Venture Management, alongside Jack Seaver and Alex Seaver; also founder/manager of Stadium Capital Management (1999, alongside Alex Seaver) with earlier career stops at William Wilson & Associates and InterWest Venture Management Co.
Brad Kent (Bradley Robert Kent in corporate/insider records) co-founded Tanis Venture Management, LLC alongside Jack Seaver and Alex Seaver. He holds degrees from Stanford University (1986 and 1987) and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School (1993). Earlier in his career he held roles at William Wilson & Associates and at InterWest Venture Management Co. (InterWest Partners) from 1993 to 1995 — the same firm where fellow Tanis co-founder Alex Seaver worked from 1987 to 1995 — before co-founding Stadium Capital Management with Seaver in 1999, where he has served as a manager/portfolio manager. He has also served as a director of Manzama, Inc. and emPower Health Equity, Inc., and previously as a director of Diamond Brands, Inc. (1998-2005). His overlapping career history with Alex Seaver at both InterWest and Stadium Capital Management is the most likely explanation for how the two connected professionally before co-founding Tanis together with Jack Seaver.
