Summary
Kurt Collins is a zero-to-one operator and Chief of Staff with 13 years of experience translating technical architecture into investor narratives, go-to-market strategy, and category positioning. Currently driving strategy, product direction, and enterprise relationships at Recital to solve architectural mismatches in legal tech, he bridges sales, product, and complex technical implementations. A former co-founder of The Hidden Genius Project and early engineering leader, he has built partnerships at scale with Cisco, MongoDB, and Box and repeatedly creates new infrastructure rather than maintaining the old. Kurt pairs hands-on engineering roots (from MIT and early software roles) with operator-level fluency in outcomes, making him as comfortable pitching VCs as he is managing customer-driven technical rollouts. He’s drawn to messy, undefined problems and has a knack for turning builder language into business impact.
