The KnectIQ story: From infinity problem to founder solution

Ken Morris shares how KnectIQ is eliminating vulnerabilities in cybersecurity, protecting investors and scaling with support from J.P. Morgan.

Ken Morris:

The J.P. Morgan banking team has supported us in numerous ways. How we should look at structuring additional investment rounds, ways to think about positioning where KnectIQ fits, and where we disrupt the market. What we bring to the cybersecurity sector is the elimination of all the vulnerabilities associated with cryptographic operations today. No more keys, everything is ephemeral. Key lesson I've learned is strategic patience. It's difficult, we all want to go quickly and go fast, but in our space, it's cybersecurity and you have to do it right. We took the six to eight years to actually build the capability. That's not the norm, but it is now bulletproof. And so, thinking about not just today, but the future, where do you want to be?

Frederick Royall III:

What is inspiring to me about Ken, and having gotten to know him, is that he is a disruptor. I think KnectIQ is a great example of how we're able to help our clients. One of the key things that we did early on was that we identified that they had a very large shareholder base, and they needed a way to more effectively manage that shareholder base. We as a firm are intentional in leveraging the J.P. Morgan platform to bring information and insights to help our businesses scale and grow.

Ken Morris:

I do shout out J.P. Morgan to other founders and say, "You know, you should check it out." I believe that it's all the extras around the traditional banking relationship that make this so valuable. Because I can go anywhere and open a checking account. I can go anywhere and open up a savings account or a swap account. What I can't do is go anywhere and have what I call this collection of individuals who are focused on not just my success and my company and my employees and team members, but also the success of other fellow entrepreneurs who are out there, who are trying to make a go of it.
