About Kevin Love
Kevin Love is a five-time NBA All-Star and NBA champion. His professional career began in 2008 with the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to his LinkedIn profile. He is based in Miami, Florida.
In 2018 he founded the Kevin Love Fund (KLF), a nonprofit focused on mental health. He started it after speaking publicly about his own mental health, including a panic attack he had during an NBA game. KLF works through four pillars: education, research, advocacy and grantmaking. It offers a free social-emotional learning curriculum for K-12 and college students. Elevance Health reports that the program has reached more than 100,000 students worldwide.
He is not known to have founded or run a venture-backed company. His investing is done alongside his basketball career and the nonprofit.
In a Crain's Cleveland Business report on his investment in the air purifier maker Molekule, Crunchbase showed at least six earlier investments, mostly in health and wellness. Tracxn and NFX Signal list his rounds from 2021 onward: Molekule (angel, September 2021), Poppi (August 2021), Neutral (2022), Prolific Machines (Series A, September 2022), Aescape (Series A in November 2022 and Series B in March 2025), Thesis (Series A, May 2023), The College Sports Company (December 2024) and Shift Naturals (angel, October 2025).
These are third-party databases, and their round labels and sizes differ in places. Founders should confirm details with him directly.
The public record shows a pattern in health and wellness, food and beverage, climate and consumer products, mostly in the United States. Tracxn groups his portfolio under High Tech and Food and Agriculture. The rounds on record run from angel and seed through Series B, and he often invests alongside other investors rather than leading.
He has not published a check size or a stated investment thesis that we could verify. One third-party profile lists a check range, but we could not confirm it belongs to this Kevin Love, so it is left out.
