About
RichKapp
I’m Richard Kappel, a passionate problem solver driven by intense curiosity and a love for innovation.
My entrepreneurial journey began early; I exited my first company at 26 years old in Chicago. Since then, I traveled the world, owned a hostel, founded a nonprofit which I pivoted to a social enterprise startup that scaled to 11 countries with over 50 team members; and led a team of volunteers in Lisbon, organizing design thinking workshops for social impact startups.
I approach every challenge as an opportunity to not only employ strategic thinking and drive meaningful change but to heighten my level of understanding about the world and myself.
With over 20 years as an entrepreneur and business developer, I’ve honed my intuition and developed a unique approach that blends practical strategies with a deep understanding of personal and professional growth.
Seeking feedback and surrounding myself with mentors has provided invaluable perspectives, guiding me through complex challenges. Now, I’m passionate about helping others navigate their own unique journeys.
My love for solving problems and curiosity about trends and industries, combined with my diverse experiences, make me a powerful asset for businesses and individuals, helping them achieve their highest aspirations and transform their lives and organizations.
