Dylan Arthur Lenz is a North American Artist, Entrepreneur, Investor, and Collector. Beyond his art practice, Dylan is the Founder & CEO of Forestry Networks, a technology company that uses advanced aerospace and AI innovations to map forests to monitor fuel load, forest composition, and detect early-wildfire hot spots in order to provide governments, emergency responders, and utility infrastructure partners better insight into how to approach forest management and mitigate wildfire risk and carbon emissions.

Previously Dylan was the Founder & CEO of Naborly, a financial technology company that improves credit accuracy and allows renters to build credit with their rental payments and recurring subscription payments, which he took to a 9-figure valuation before exit.

Before becoming a venture-backed Founder/CEO, Dylan had already successfully built and sold two technology companies in the energy and finance sectors. He studied Computer Science and Fine Arts at the University of British Columbia where he was a member of the British Columbia Olympic boxing team.

Dylan and his sister Ashley Lenz are board trustees and investors for their family’s private office which invests in and operates businesses in real estate, agriculture, energy, finance, and government technologies.


Beyond work, Dylan lives on and operates a small environmentally sustainable farm in Green Valley, California, 4 miles outside of Napa, CA. He is an avid collector of fine art, vintage-guitars, timepieces, firearms, and Pokemon cards (he proudly owns 8 Charizard's).
