Katz & KO, a venture acceleration platform operating and investing at the intersection of sports, performance, and emerging technologies, is proud to announce that Dr. Edward Zuckerberg has joined the firm as a strategic advisor.
Dr. Zuckerberg—renowned dental technologist and early adopter of health tech innovations—brings decades of experience at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and patient experience. His unique lens will support Katz & KO and its affiliated investment arm, BrknPar Venture Fund, as they evaluate and support companies redefining health performance, recovery, and athlete longevity.
“Dr. Zuckerberg embodies the kind of forward-thinking, cross-disciplinary expertise we value deeply,” said Andy Katz, Managing Partner of Katz & KO. “He’s not just an innovator in clinical practice—he understands how technology can transform outcomes, markets, and lives. As we expand our engagements and investments into health tech, sports medicine, and performance-driven care, Ed’s insights will be invaluable.”
In this advisory role, Dr. Zuckerberg will provide strategic input on diligence and investment strategy related to health and performance technologies, and serve as a thought partner on select Katz & KO engagements. He joins a small, curated group of strategic advisors chosen for their impact, access, and alignment with the firm's mission.
“The work Katz & KO is doing sits at an exciting inflection point,” said Dr. Zuckerberg. “From enhancing athlete recovery to exploring dynamic digital health platforms, they’re investing where technology meets real human performance. I'm looking forward to collaborating with the team.”
This announcement follows Katz & KO’s recent rebrand from VA2, marking its evolution into a bold, founder-first yet investor-friendly platform built to champion next-generation innovators. The “KO” is more than a nod to its Equity Partners - it’s a statement of purpose: to help founders knock out the obstacles that stand between vision and breakthrough.
Dr. Zuckerberg is also proud of his family’s legacy of innovation. He and his wife raised four accomplished children, including Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Meta. That spirit of innovation—rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and a drive to push boundaries continues to shape Dr. Zuckerberg’s work across advisory roles and entrepreneurial ventures.
