Kayak Ventures focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage investments in innovative startups revolutionizing industries or creating new ones. They target companies in both tech and climate spaces, seeking great founding teams and double-sided value propositions. The firm particularly emphasizes climate tech investments, viewing it as a broad theme rather than a single vertical.
As angel investors, Kayak Ventures provides both capital and startup advising services to their portfolio companies. Notable investments include Encore and Lithos Carbon, which have raised $9 million and $6.29 million respectively. The firm's portfolio demonstrates a preference for seed-stage rounds, with occasional participation in Series A funding.
