Investment thesis

KohFounders partners with mission-driven founders at the earliest stages of company formation — before they raise any institutional capital — focusing on emerging ecosystems across the United States rather than traditional tech hubs like the Bay Area. As the firm states: 'We believe the next wave of truly great companies will be built everywhere.' Their sector focus spans healthcare tech, ed tech, climate tech, ag tech, fintech, future of work, prop tech, and frontier tech. KohFounders seeks scrappy, passionate, and relentless founding teams with deep domain expertise and strong capabilities across product, design, development, sales, and marketing, backing entrepreneurs in cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.
