Established in 2022, SKKY Partners will utilize the unique and complementary backgrounds of its Founders to accelerate value creation in a portfolio of high-growth consumer and media businesses. As the founder of multiple businesses valued over $1 billion and one of the most recognized and followed women in the world, Kim Kardashian has established herself as a highly accomplished, influential business leader with an unmatched ability to identify and define culture, and she will leverage these experiences to drive the origination of SKKY’s investment opportunities, develop the team and create value in the portfolio.
