Venture Capital Jobs and Internships at 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.
