Kearny Jackson

Kearny Jackson is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018 and based in San Francisco. The firm invests at pre-seed and seed, typically committing up to $2 million per investment, and describes itself as an early-stage specialist. Its stated focus areas are SaaS, infrastructure, fintech infrastructure and enterprise tooling, spanning B2B and broader technology.

The firm positions its role as more than capital. Alongside equity financing, it provides strategic guidance, industry expertise and long-term support through the growth stages, beginning at day zero. Operating practice centres on close, hands-on partnerships with founders, open and transparent communication, and quick decision-making intended to make efficient use of founders' time.

Kearny Jackson was founded by Sriram Krishnan and Sunil Chhaya, who bring both operating and venture experience. The firm's model - concentrated early-stage cheques combined with sustained involvement post-investment - reflects a hands-on approach common among operator-founded funds at the pre-seed and seed end of the market.
