Kevin Barenblat co-founded Fast Forward to support builders of nonprofits deploying tech and AI to solve humanity’s pressing challenges. Fast Forward’s network unites the tech sector with philanthropic investors in support of these mission-driven entrepreneurs, equipping tech and AI-powered nonprofits with the resources, capital, and mentorship needed to succeed. Since founding Fast Forward, he has supported hundreds of social entrepreneurs.
He authors the AI for Humanity substack, and contributed to the 2025 AI for Humanity Report, and whitepaper, “The Philanthropic Reset: How Philanthropy can Lead in the Age of AI.” He’s also a frequent speaker, including at TED AI, The Federal Reserve Bank, and Good Tech Fest.
Barenblat worked across tech—from startup to big tech and venture capital—before finding his calling supporting tech nonprofits. He earned a B.S. in engineering from Stanford University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
