Short Bio: Kevin Castello is one of the founding principals of Best Fit Advisors (BFA). BFA partners with entrepreneurs to align their long-term goals or exit strategy, with their business strategies, and fund raising strategies. By bringing these three key threads into alignment the value of the business can grow faster and more profitable than without. BFA then actively executes the exit strategy while the entrepreneurs are executing the operational strategy. BFA is passionate about helping entrepreneurs accomplish their goals.
Kevin previously served as the Executive Director of the Baylor Angel Network and was the inaugural Chairperson of the Alliance of Texas Angel Networks Executive Director committee. Kevin’s training as a Baylor MBA and Venture Capital Fellow, as well as his experience in deal flow analysis gives him a broad view of capital strategy and deal structure, enabling him to assist entrepreneurs in finding the best fit solution for them. Kevin continues to teach private equity investing and venture capital practicum courses for Baylor’s MBA and EMBA programs. In addition, Kevin has managed several investment entities including the BAN G51 Investors, LLC; Affinity Angel Investment Fund I, LLC; and the BAN AV Fund I, LLC.
