KPG Ventures

edit

Having worked in companies — from established businesses such as IBM and Hitachi to start-ups like Inktomi — and in the VC world for the last 25 years, I strongly believe venture capital needs to change. We must take the best of what the early venture capitalists did and combine that with the rapidly changing world of today.

KPG is not your father’s VC firm to borrow a cliché from the car company and here’s why.

KPG is small and focused solely on the consumer Internet space making it easy for you to determine a fit.

We have the operational expertise you need to grow your business from an idea on a paper napkin to a company of sustained value.

We make decisions fast so you don’t have to wait for Monday partner meetings to get a response, and we move quickly to respond to the competitive landscape.

We have an excellent network of relationships to help your company with its needs in everything from recruiting to growing revenue.
