Kelly began her work with the 1Up Fund at its inception, with a shared value around community and industry good. Founded by Ed Fries, the 1Up Fund aims to bring about community-driven changes to the industry through innovative and creative investments in the top indie teams working today. Her original role focused around creating, building and growing the 1Up portfolio community. In early 2022, she joined as a full time partner on the fund and expanded her role to investing and fundraising as the 1Up Fund expands into Fund II.

At 1Up Ventures we are building a diverse and inclusive community of the most talented, experienced, and creative independent game developers in the world. We believe that by working together we can help each other be more successful.
