Kennet Partners

Kennet Partners is a transatlantic growth equity firm founded in 1997, headquartered in London with a presence in San Francisco. It invests across Europe and the United States in capital-efficient AI, software and AI services businesses - companies with real revenue and established customers rather than those still proving a business model. The firm's stated view is that strong companies do not require significant institutional funding to validate what they do.

Capital is deployed through a series of six growth equity funds, with more than €1 billion invested to date. The investment pattern is one of concentration: Kennet takes concentrated positions in portfolio companies and works with them as active partners, contributing investment experience, networks and practical support as founders scale. The technical focus covers artificial intelligence, software and AI services, including AI embedded in enterprise business workflows and measured by the outcomes it delivers.

The track record spans more than 25 years, over 100 investments and more than 50 exits. Sector coverage is concentrated in AI, software, AI services and enterprise business workflows, with a geographic remit that bridges European and US markets from offices in London and San Francisco.
