TK Kwon is Co-Founder of Theo, a New York-based crypto trading infrastructure platform connecting onchain capital to global financial markets via institutional-grade strategies.

TK studied Computer Science at Northwestern University and went on to build deep expertise as a quantitative trader at elite proprietary trading firms IMC Trading and DV Trading.

TK co-founded Theo from the conviction that everyday investors and onchain capital deserve access to the same sophisticated trading strategies long reserved for Wall Street hedge funds and HFT firms.

Prior to Theo, TK and his co-founders left their HFT roles in 2022 to contribute to Canto, a DeFi-focused blockchain, before pivoting to found Theo in late 2023.

Theo has raised $20M across two funding rounds, attracted backing from angels at Citadel, Jane Street, and JPMorgan, and has seen users deposit approximately $50M into its protocol with average yields of 18-20% over its first year.
