Thesis
Kleiner Perkins operates with a core mandate to invest in category-defining technology and infrastructure companies that fundamentally reshape industries. The firm utilizes a dual-vehicle model to support businesses throughout their full lifecycle, executing initial core investments via flagship venture funds and continuing long-term commitment through Select growth funds. Historically famed for early bets on Amazon and Google, the modern team under the Hamid-Fushman era has re-engineered the firm into a tight, process-driven boutique with an elevated operational metabolism. The firm’s investment strategy targets major technological inflection points, placing a high-conviction focus on foundational infrastructure, developer tooling, security, enterprise business applications, and automated physical industries. Kleiner Perkins operates under a distinct firm belief that artificial intelligence constitutes an unprecedented super-cycle, accelerating early iteration cycles and enabling software architectures to scale faster than any previous computing era. Strong founder fits are characterized by deep technical capability, engineering-first team orientations, and a clear vision for rewriting industry workflows.
