KEARNY JACKSON VC, LLC

Thesis

Kearny Jackson is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018, headquartered in San Francisco, California. They focus on backing ambitious technology founders building the next generation of B2B companies, positioning themselves as day-zero company builders and seasoned boardroom investors. Their core investment thesis is to partner with founders to create "timeless companies" by seeking founders with exceptional clarity of vision and conviction who are building transformative technology products. The firm's primary focus is on pre-seed and seed-stage investments, targeting companies at their inception or with early working products and initial traction, selectively participating in Series A follow-on rounds. They concentrate on Enterprise Software (SaaS), Infrastructure & Developer Tools, and Fintech & Payments. Kearny Jackson demonstrates a clear lead tendency in seed and pre-seed investments, aiming for a lean stake of 6% to 10% and injecting approximately $1.5 million into each startup at these stages. They prefer warm introductions but accept direct outreach, with a focus on speed and typical deal timelines of 2-4 weeks. The firm is actively deploying capital from its third fund, Fund III, which secured $65 million in July 2024.
