About
Kindred Capital is a London-based VC founded in 2015, with its first fund launched in 2016. The firm invests in pre-seed and seed stages, primarily in the UK and Europe, leading or co-leading rounds for young tech companies. Its Equitable Venture model allocates carried interest points to the founders of its portfolio companies: once commitments are repaid, they share at least 20% of the fund's profits. Kindred states it invests in six to eight early-stage startups per year. Its third fund, closed in 2023, finances initial checks ranging from $0.2M to $3M in 25 to 30 companies. The portfolio notably includes Paddle, Cradle, Fractile, Latent Labs, Dexory, and RobCo; documented exits include AtlasML, acquired by Meta, Disperse, acquired by OpenSpace, and Embed, acquired by OpenFX.
