Keith may be the most unlikely person ever to be considered a farmer. From insects to aquaculture, Keith spends his time focussed on the more obscure and emerging areas of agriculture. Through his family office, Propel Ventures (formerly Driver Projects), Keith is working and investing in non-conventional, indoor, and innovative agriculture with a belief that they form a healthy part of the solution for meeting the demands to feed a growing population.
Keith Driver is a serial entrepreneur in the clean-tech and ag-tech spaces, with experience across North America. He has served in leadership positions in several technology companies over the past 20 years. His experience includes founding, senior marketing, technical and management roles, focused on emerging products and technologies. This has included fish farms, carbon trading, used oil re-refining, cryptocurrency mining, animal feed production, insect larvae for protein production, and fertilizer production.
Keith holds two degrees in engineering and an MBA, and has served as a sessional instructor at both of his Alma Maters, the University of Calgary and the University of Guelph.
