Investment thesis

Kinisis Ventures operates a hybrid acceleration and early-stage investment model, originating from US-based Cypriot expats who leveraged their business expertise and Cyprus presence to identify and accelerate early-stage companies with strong international commercialization prospects. In 2022 the firm consolidated its acceleration assets, including portfolio shares, into a CySEC-regulated hybrid vehicle combining acceleration with early-stage investment. Building on the momentum of KV Fund I, a planned KVF II aims to expand reach, access and scope by further leveraging the team's US presence and investor network.

Cherubic Ventures

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
