Opportunities to back experienced managers or entrepreneurs
Whether you are a group of people with an idea you think will change the world or a small company that needs a patient, thoughtful partner to help you get to the next level, we look to invest in people with passion about their idea, expertise in their industry and a product or service that can be truly disruptive.
Northwest people backing Northwest companies.
We recognize the value of being able to grab a cup of coffee to discuss your ideas and issues. We choose to only back companies located in the greater Pacific Northwest so we can be accessible to our portfolio companies.
Efficient use of capital
The majority of our investments will be able to achieve liquidity or exit with less than $6M in invested capital. Companies that require large infusions of capital are not a good fit for KIG.
Thoughtful about exit
As an early stage investor, we are looking for liquidity at some point. We like to invest in companies where managers understand and acknowledge the importance of a liquidity event. Due to the unique nature of our capital, we do not need to follow the traditional “3 years and out” venture model.
Invest where we add value
It is important for us to bring more than money to the table. We want to leverage our experience and avoid those areas in which we don’t have any. For that reason, we do not invest in biotech and medical deals.
