KittyHawk strives to partner with exceptional and visionary entrepreneurs, often favoring unique and unorthodox companies that operate outside the conventional lanes, fishing where others are not. With an investment range from a minimum of $250,000 to a maximum of $15,000,000, their sweet spot for investments is typically around $2,000,000. The firm holds special expertise in seed, series A, and pre-seed funding stages. Founded by Will Weisman, the KittyHawk team consists of experts from technology, industry, finance, and operations with a solid foundation that was birthed at Singularity University in 2015 at the NASA Ames Research Park in Silicon Valley. They place importance on building relationships through trusted sources, therefore preferring warm introductions but also welcoming pitches through their website. KittyHawk operates with a shared vision rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit exemplified by the Wright Brothers' achievements in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, inspiring their name and reflecting their commitment to pioneering advancements in human mobility and beyond.
