Kindred Capital

What is Kindred Capital?

Kindred Capital is a London-based venture capital firm founded in 2015 that adopts a unique model of equitable venture. The firm focuses on mission-driven pre-seed and seed-stage founders in the United Kingdom who are outliers, optimists, and operators — individuals set to create the world we want to live in.

Kindred's investment strategy centers on a 'founders for founders' approach, where every entrepreneur they back becomes a co-owner of the fund, aligning everyone’s ambitions and achievements.

This distinctive structure means that when one portfolio company succeeds, all founder-alumni reap the benefits. Their investment themes span various sectors including Software (Web, Marketplace, SaaS), BioTech, Businesses Solutions, FinTech, CleanTech, A.I., HealthTech, Web Security, Cloud Services, Developer tools, DeepTech, Healthcare, Consumer, Woman Focused ventures, among others.

Kindred operates with high conviction and transparency, prioritizing speed by having a partner-only decision-making team to ensure rapid progression. They offer a robust network and community, providing founders with the necessary support to drive traction.

The firm's specialties include Pre-seed, Early Stage, and Seed Investments with a fund investment sweet spot of £2 million, ranging from £500,000 to £5 million. They actively support their portfolio companies in building strong teams and have created a platform for job discovery within their network.

The fund's success stories are frequent and varied, demonstrating their ability to identify and accelerate the growth of early-stage businesses. As a VC, their headquarters are at First Floor, 44-46 Sekforde Street, London EC1R0HA, GB.

What they say:

We invest in equitable ventures. Kindred aligns ambitions and achievements with the portfolio. In structure and in spirit. Every single founder that the company backs will become a co-owner of the fund.
