Our Roots

Koru Capital is a New York City–based venture capital firm. As former operators and VC investors, we know what it takes to scale and have the pattern recognition to identify tech pioneers. We partner deeply, from diligence to boardroom, delivering both capital and craft, empowering founders who are building category-defining businesses. Our team has deployed over $150 million across early and growth stage companies and have helped build companies with exits totaling over $1 billion. Our portfolio spans AI, next-gen infrastructure, enterprise software, platform technology, and more.

Koru ("kor-roo") is the shape of the unfurling silver fern frond, a symbol of new beginnings, growth, and strength. Its expansion embodies the entrepreneurial journey, which drives innovation and progress. The spiral also echoes the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical harmony in nature that resonates with our MIT roots and data-driven approach. At KORU, our funds, partners, companies, and investors grow interconnectedly, fostering collaboration and shared success.

Our Approach

We stand at a pivotal crossroads in history where AI, capital, and values are converging to shape what comes next. AI will be more impactful than the personal computer and the internet combined in a fraction of the time and may be the greatest wealth creation opportunity of our lives. Yet, it's not just about financial returns, it is about investing in technology and companies that strengthen families, communities, our country, and the world. This is about shaping a future that our children and grandchildren will be proud of, one where innovation serves humanity, progress is guided by principles, and technology and values work hand in hand. We don’t just invest in companies. We build legacies.

Koru invests in Series A through D companies as well as secondary opportunities in late-stage market leaders such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Stripe. We follow experienced VCs with high conviction, discipline around entry points, reserves, and long-term alignment.

We back companies building the next layer of infrastructure, reshaping legacy industries, and unlocking entirely new markets enabled by AI. We’re not just investing in the next generation of technology, we’re investing in the architecture of what comes next.
