Nathan Kundtz

Nathan Kundtz is the CEO of Rendered.ai and was previously the Chief Executive Officer and President at Kymeta Corporation. Nathan has also held the position of Sr. Manager, Center for Metamaterials at Intellectual Ventures.

Nathan has a long history of working with innovative technology. At Kymeta, they developed the mTenna suite of radically new satellite antennas. Built on electromagnetic metamaterials technology, the ultra-thin Ku- and Ka-band antennas use a holographic approach to electronically acquire, steer, and lock a beam to any satellite, with no moving parts.

With the ability to exploit both the unicast and multicast power of fixed and mobile satellites, mTenna technology will allow the satellite industry to reach markets never before addressed. Thinner, flatter, lighter antennas mean integrated solutions that are low profile and easy to install. No moving parts means less maintenance. And solutions empowered with mTenna technology will deliver levels of scalability and affordability far outside the scope of what is available today, due to our manufacturing methods that include innovative use of PCB technology, and the ability to leverage $200 billion of capital investment in the Thin Film Transistor (TFT) LCD industry.

Prior to their work at Kymeta, Nathan was Sr. Manager, Center for Metamaterials at Intellectual Ventures where they oversaw the development of metamaterials technologies. Nathan has a deep understanding of how to develop and commercialize new technologies and takes a hands-on approach to their work.

Nathan has a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Duke University.

Nathan Kundtz is a PhD candidate in the Physics department at Duke University. Nathan holds a B.S. in Engineering Physics from Case Western Reserve University and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Duke University.

Some individuals on their team include Jennifer Thomson - Head of Customer Programs, Chris Andrews - COO & Head of Product, and Tom Freeman - Head of Customer Engagement.
