Strategy

A Focus on Seed Capital

KVG targets 20-25 investments in each fund. We limit our participation as a lead investor to 5-7 companies. Our industry focus is agtech/foodtech, aerospace, manufacturing, and energy but we opportunistically invest outside of these sectors especially if the firm meets our regional impact mission.
