Kindred Ventures

Activity from announced rounds

Activity in this selectionOct 24, 2026 · Hardware · Jan 1, 2026

Kindred Ventures invests primarily at pre-seed and seed and can work with entrepreneurs before incorporation, helping form an initial team and sharpen an idea before funding.

Its founders and operators have experience building companies through both successful outcomes and failure. The firm combines company formation with conventional early-round investing, centred on bringing new technology and scientific products to market.

Its stated interests include beneficial AI, decentralised systems, personalised wellbeing and electric transportation. This is a broad technical remit with a focus on the earliest company-building stage rather than one narrow software vertical.
