Kindred Ventures

About

We believe in AGI for good, decentralized systems that are fair, personalized well-being for all, quiet electric transportation for the planet, and technologies that have yet to be imagined but are inevitable.

To build the future requires brave new thinking and relentless dedication for what’s possible. We exist to help founders build the seemingly impossible and bring to market critical products, infrastructure, and technologies that will shape the world we live in.

Experienced founders / operators investing in new founders

We’ve worked in operating roles in small to large companies, and started several venture-backed startups that have exited in both success and failure. Founders face challenges every day – navigating the idea maze, building a team, shipping products to customers. We’ve experienced all of this first-hand, and it’s our mission to support dedicated founders on their journeys.

Our Threefold Approach

  1. We invest in technology startups in their earliest rounds of financing, primarily pre-seed and seed
  2. We often help form and fund: we partner with entrepreneurs before they have created their companies and help form initial teams and sharpen ideas, before funding
  3. We engage closely with our founders and leverage our deep networks globally to help bring their visions to life

Topology Ventures

Inspired by topological dimension reduction - a mathematical and machine learning technique that simplifies complex, high‑dimensional data while preserving essential features and core qualities. We see our work as similar: distilling intricate webs of information into key insights that drive high‑conviction investments and long term partnerships. What we do We partner with brilliant technologists who have unreasonable ambition. We dream big and are devoted to advancing the intersection of technology and humanity. We are currently focused on AI, decentralized systems, and neurotech. How we do it We are extremely selective in who we partner with. Straight up - we have a network we're phenomenally proud of, are fun to work with, deeply technical, and run through walls to help our founders win. Principles Execute with Vision. The greatest impact emerges when wild imagination meets calculated execution. "Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare" - Japanese Proverb Self Author. Have the confidence to pursue the future state you know is within reach. “The self-authoring mind can take responsibility for its own values and ideology rather than depend on others to define its reality.” - Robert Kegan Lead with Curiosity. The path to changing the world often begins with an earnestly spoken ‘why’. "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." - Dr. Seuss
