Kevin Weil
Operator in Residence
Invaluable since day 1.
Scribble played an instrumental role in helping us get seed funding and introducing us to important strategic investors, potential customers and industry leaders. Kevin's product acumen of leading world class products offer unique values that we can't get elsewhere.

Kevin is our operator in residence—an apt title because as Elizabeth’s husband, he’s truly “in residence.” Like our founders, Kevin is focused day-to-day on building a company and product—he is the President of Product and Business at Planet. He is an active contributor to Scribble Ventures, especially where his operational, strategic, and product/design/data background can help our portfolio companies.
Kevin has been Head of Product at Twitter, Instagram, and Novi (the digital currency effort within Facebook). During his seven years at Twitter, he helped the company scale from 40 to 4000 people, from $0 to $2B in revenue, and to over 300M users. He moved to Instagram in 2016 to lead the product and data teams, and, in two-and-a-half years there, led through an inflection point as Instagram grew from 400M to over 1B users, including launching Instagram Stories. Kevin then co-founded Diem (formerly known as Libra) and Novi and built both for three years before moving to Planet in 2021.
Kevin graduated summa cum laude from Harvard with a BA in Mathematics and Physics, and from Stanford University with an MS in Physics. He serves on the board of Strava, the Nature Conservancy, and the Black Product Managers Network. When he’s not working, he’s spending time with Elizabeth and their three kids, or running ultra-marathons. Next up: the 170-mile Tahoe Rim Trail!
