Kyle Wyche is the Co-Founder and COO of Ecotone Renewables, a cleantech startup transforming organic waste into renewable energy and high-quality fertilizer through decentralized anaerobic digester technology. Holding a B.S. in Ecology & Evolution and an MBA in Sustainable Business Development & Data Analytics — both from the University of Pittsburgh — Kyle brings rare depth across environmental science, operations, and strategy.

Day-to-day, Kyle oversees the full operational backbone of Ecotone — from supply chain and production efficiency to system deployments, customer relations, and the microbiology behind their fertilizer product. Since co-founding the company in 2019, he has helped raise over $4M in funding, diverted 200,000+ lbs of food waste from landfills, and scaled active deployments across six states: California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Colorado, and New York — with Canada expansion underway.

His early work at Harvard Forest, where he helped engineer a human-machine interface enabling a living tree to communicate its own growth data in real time, foreshadowed his focus on making complex environmental systems accessible and actionable.

A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Kyle has spoken at the ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit, the US Composting Council's COMPOST2024 Conference, the GEBG Student Action Summit, City of Pittsburgh press conferences, and National Black MBA Association events. He is helping redefine what's possible at the intersection of ecology, entrepreneurship, and the circular economy.
