Our team
Meet the people behind 6Degrees.
6Degrees began as an offshoot of a weekly investment blog founded by Keon Etminan. What started as a local interview series grew into conversations with people once thought out of reach — each guest generously connecting us to the next. The name reflects what we discovered: humanity is more interconnected than we ever imagined.
