Forrest Smith is the CEO of Kineon, a health technology company developing portable laser therapy devices for pain, inflammation, and tissue repair. With over 20 years building successful startups in the tech hardware space, he brings a physiology-first approach to device design that works backward from cellular outcomes rather than engineering specs. Forrest speaks, reads, and writes fluent Chinese, having run his first two businesses entirely in the language. An avid rugby player and CrossFit practitioner based in Atlanta, his own athletic injuries led him to develop the MOVE+ Pro. Under his leadership, Kineon has earned FDA clearance, partnered with US Olympic teams and special forces physiologists, and raised community-backed funding to expand their product line.
