Knoll Ventures

Founded in 2018 and based in Atlanta, GA, Knoll Ventures backs 'outliers' — creative thinkers and innovators who challenge the status quo. The firm leads or co-leads $500,000–$3,000,000 investment rounds in pre-Series A, tech-enabled B2B companies at the pre-seed, seed, and post-seed stages, looking for 'passionate founders who see around corners, intimately understand customer pain points, and articulate a future vision that feels all but inevitable.' Knoll was created specifically to address the funding gap between seed and Series A, particularly in underserved non-coastal markets like the Southeast US. Backed by Invest Georgia (a state fund-of-funds), the firm aligns itself with founders through deep knowledge of round objectives and a scalable investment structure, aspiring to be 'the first call a founder makes when looking for actionable advice.' The firm has closed two funds — Fund I (~$24M) and Fund II (~$21.8M, closed Spring 2022) — and has invested in 37+ companies across B2B SaaS, fintech, AI, and climate technology.
