Kindred Capital VC

About The Fund

Kindred Capital VC is a venture capital fund that stands as a proponent of an innovative model known as 'equitable venture.' Central to their philosophy is the idea that every founder supported by the fund becomes a co-owner, creating a community of invested parties who work and win together. Established in 2015, Kindred was born out of the ambition to construct the type of VC firm the founders would have sought while operating their startups. They prioritize transparency, speed, and powerful networks to bolster the success of their founders. With a rigorous due diligence process, the partners of Kindred invest solely in pre-seed and seed-stage ventures, engaging directly with founders as the only decision-makers. They invest with high conviction in a range of sectors including FinTech and financial services, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, consumer markets, and other various industries. Their investments range from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $5,000,000, with a sweet spot of around $1,500,000 for initial investments. The firm specializes in seed to Series A funding rounds, cultivating an environment that promotes mutual growth between the fund and its portfolio companies. Their investment strategy encompasses building a diversified, experienced, and thoughtful community, known as the Community Hub, around their founders to provide them with the necessary tools to drive traction and to create the world we want to live in. Additionally, Kindred extends job opportunities through its portfolio companies, encouraging employment in impactful and growing startups.
