We are the definition of High Agency. Backing the world’s largest TAM creators: founders who build new markets rather than sell into existing ones. We’re not afraid of the unknown; we’re drawn to it. Guided by hard-earned experience, razor-sharp instincts, and the trust we’ve built over decades.

We are unstoppable when it comes to allocation and opportunity. Our founders see us as part of their larger brain trust, the partners they call with the problems that keep them up at night. Together, we anticipate challenges before they surface and help them scale with clarity, conviction, and long-term advantage.

Kinship Ventures follows a focused, two-pronged investment strategy: backing high-growth companies approaching scale while taking early, conviction-driven positions in the next generation of category-defining founders.

FOUNDER FIRST

CREDIBILITY AMPLIFICATION

KINSHIP ISN’T NEW, WE’VE JUST BEEN BUSY BUILDING.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Moj Mahdara, and Trina Spear have been behind the scenes of more than 150 cap tables, helping founders launch, scale, and exit category-defining companies.

What began as a network of operators, founders, and cultural builders has become one of the best-kept secrets in venture, a proven platform that consistently helps founders win when it matters most.

Now, we’re institutionalizing that edge, expanding access to a limited group of LPs who share our conviction, curiosity, and discipline. We’re not just looking for capital; we’re looking for partners who see the world the way we do; those who understand that the future belongs to high-agency founders creating new markets and shaping tomorrow’s culture.

We’re founders first, backing high-agency builders who invent new markets, shape culture, and build enduring companies that define the next era.
