Janne Kyttanen

Digital Sculptor & Founder, PIXSWEET

Los Angeles

Janne Kyttanen is a digital sculptor creating multidisciplinary work at the intersection of 3D printing, virtual & augmented reality. Kyttanen’s work has been featured in TIME Magazine’s ‘Design 100’, the people and ideas behind the world’s most influential design. He is best known for his revolutionary work with 3D printing and is considered to be one of the most influential artist designers of his generation.

In 2016 Kyttanen founded What the Future Venture Capital, a venture capital fund built by a team of serial entrepreneurs. WTFVC is a startup that designs startups, founded with a mission to design new companies at the speed of designing new products. The founders of WTFVC see infinite potential at the crossroads of nanotechnology, 3D printing, biotech, technology, virtual reality, and machine learning and believe that the magic is in the middle of these crossroads.

WTFVC is not a traditional investment fund; the founders are passionate about designing the enterprises that they invest into. They invest more than half of their funds into their own ideas, building companies from the ground up and hiring kickass CEOs to run with them in return for equity. Pixsweet is a food + technology venture launching late summer 2016.

Janne currently resides between his two studios in Amsterdam and Los Angeles.
