About.

Karman is a venture firm built to connect founders with tech alumni networks.

• We like to invest early. We are often the first to commit - we write up to $300k checks out of our fund.
• We also manage and invest in late stage companies via the Uber Alumni Investment Club.
• We have a bias towards partnering with technical founders working in SF (primary focus), LA and NYC.
• We like teams who are data driven, optimistic and move with extreme urgency.

The network.

Our network is broad and deep.

Our LPs are founders of iconic companies and iconic VC firms. We also manage a community of founders who were early employees at generational companies like Uber, Airbnb, Stripe, Palantir, Anduril and others.

We leverage this network to help founders win.
