Koch Disruptive Technologies

We aim to be the preferred partner in accelerating the value of entrepreneurs’ disruptive companies and the transformation of Koch Industries. THE CORNERSTONES OF OUR PHILOSOPHY CREATIVE DESTRUCTION KDT embraces disruption by promoting creative destruction - the continuous process of iterating, improving and destroying current business models and platforms, EVEN OUR OWN. We partner with emerging high-growth companies that are committed to doing the same. MUTUAL BENEFIT In each of our investments, we look for aligned vision and values as well as complementary capabilities. We can then leverage our massive network of companies and partners to help any young company grow exponentially. By aligning incentives, the company has a greater impact, Koch learns new business models and technologies, and society improves dramatically - a mutual benefit scenario for all. LONG-TERM THINKING By taking a long-term, contrarian approach to investing, we free our partners to create new capabilities and disrupt large industries. We are not bound by fund cycles or predetermined exit strategies. We are focused on helping our companies create the most impactful and profitable scenario possible, and we remain committed to navigating all the unpredictable situations with them. OUR APPROACH Stage Agnostic We have the flexibility and long-term thinking to invest anywhere in the life cycle of a company, from seed to late-stage growth. Thematic Investing We invest across various industries anywhere in the world. Some of our investments will be ancillary to Koch’s core businesses and some will be in completely new industries. See our Investment Themes below. Situationally Focused We review each opportunity on individual merit and timing, not concerning ourselves with popular themes or concentration limits. INVESTMENT CRITERIA• Principled Entrepreneurship Leadership with aligned vision, values and complementary capabilities. • Disruptive Potential to significantly disrupt current market solutions or market alternatives. • Mutual Benefit Strategic engagement where KDT can help a company accelerate even beyond the capital infusion. • High Potential Potential to create a world-changing platform where people think, act, or behave differently.
