Kindred Capital

Kindred Capital is a London-based early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2015 that operates on a distinctive "Equitable Venture" model, giving every backed founder a co-ownership stake in the fund through a share of the carried interest. The firm focuses primarily on pre-seed investments, writing checks of $200K to $3M and backing roughly 25–30 companies per fund, leading or co-leading all rounds. Kindred closed its third fund at $130M in 2023, and invests primarily in the UK with reach across Europe and Israel, targeting sectors including techbio and infrastructure as well as fintech, B2B software, robotics, and healthtech. The firm runs a partner-only investment team with no junior staff, enabling fast decision-making, and provides executive coaching to every founder it backs. Notable portfolio companies include payments unicorn Paddle, robotics firm RobCo, and AI drug discovery company Cradle.
