Kyle Baer

Founder and Principal

Before founding Elm Brook, Kyle spent 12 years working in software operations, sales, finance, and M&A.  One of his greatest achievements was sourcing, closing, and integrating a divestiture from a Fortune 500 conglomerate.  

Prior to finding his love of running software companies, Kyle experienced the challenges of food distribution as the CFO of Farmhouse Delivery, a Texas-based e-commerce company with 70 employees.  Kyle was instrumental in restructuring the operations and pricing model to achieve profitability, opening a new warehouse, and implementing new order and routing software.  

Kyle earned a B.S. from Grove City College and is a Chartered Financial Analyst.  Originally from a small farming town in rural Pennsylvania, Kyle moved to Texas in 2013 where he met his wife.  

In his (limited) spare time, Kyle enjoys chasing his 2 daughters around the house, volunteering as a Board Member for More than Welcome, leading a small group from his church, mountain biking, and searching for the next BRK to invest in.
