Will Gray is a Tulsa-born former professional tennis player who co-founded Atento Capital, a venture fund backed solely by the George Kaiser Family Foundation that requires portfolio companies to establish operations in Tulsa or Northwest Arkansas as part of its investment strategy. Unlike most regional VCs, he brings a public markets background as a former fundamental equity analyst and CFA charterholder, giving him a buy-side valuation perspective that he combines with his mission to use venture capital as a tool for economic development in overlooked Heartland markets.
