Approach
We back founders early, with conviction, and stay with them for the long run.
Conviction first, then capital: we lead rounds, take a board seat and keep investing as you grow.
Kinetic Partners was founded in 2011 by operators who had built companies of their own. We invest at Seed and Series A, typically leading with an initial cheque of $2M to $15M, and reserve as much again to follow on.
We make fewer than ten new investments a year. That is deliberate: it means the partner who wins your trust at the first meeting is the one in the room when it matters most.
How we partner
01
Meet
A partner replies to every founder within a week, and the first meeting is about you and the problem, not the deck.
02
Commit
One partner, one decision meeting, and a term sheet within three weeks. We lead Seed and Series A rounds.
03
Build
Hiring, customers and the next round: a small platform team works alongside the partner on your board.
04
Scale
We reserve capital to follow on through Series C, so the people who backed you first are still there for the hard parts.
