Ault Krug Ventures

About The Fund

Ault Krug Ventures is a venture capital fund founded by partners Joey Krug and J. Henry Ault in 2015 with a focus on investing in a variety of pioneering sectors, including Software (Web Marketplace SaaS), BioTech, Business Solutions, FinTech & Financial Services, Advertising, Food & Beverage, Medical Devices & Hospital Services, and Healthcare & Wellness. They prioritize early-stage investments, such as Pre-Seed, Seed, and early stages, with a particular interest in companies that are pre-product-market fit. The fund typically invests between $100,000 and $1,000,000, with an average investment ('sweet spot') of around $300,000. Ault Krug Ventures emphasizes a hands-on approach, helping founders with fundraising, selling, hiring, and overcoming technical challenges. Their goal is to make a significant impact on a founder’s progress, offering more assistance than most firms, especially in the nascent stages of a company's growth. They value founders for their authenticity, curiosity, openness to feedback, quick learning abilities, and ruthless execution capabilities. While sector agnostic, Ault Krug Ventures has expressed a particular thesis in investing in off-the-shelf hardware products that utilize advanced software techniques to offer services at substantially lower costs than custom hardware. They maintain close relationships with several top-tier funds to aid in the further development of the companies they invest in. Their team engages deeply with the entrepreneurial community and is driven by a passion for transformative ideas and the potential for substantial improvements in the market sectors they target.
