Kepha Partners

What they do

"Kepha" is Aramaic for "rock." They have a back-to-basics approach focused on pre-seed, seed and Series A companies. They call this "venture building," and it is what created the venture industry in the first place. It is the foundation, or rock, of venture capital. Their mission: 1. Be the true entrepreneur's first choice 2. Aggressively build shareholder value that will last for many generations 3. Establish a new standard for value-add and become the McKinsey & Co. for entrepreneurs They seek entrepreneurs who have disruptive ideas and know that they can do it better. They recruit executives who are energized by making a difference in how they lead teams and out-execute incumbents. They want to work with people who would rather try and fail vs. not try at all.

What they look for

Aggressively build shareholder value in companies that create massive change, propel innovation, employ thousands in meaningful jobs, and are good stewards of the community. As a life-cycle investor, Kepha engages at the seed level and bridges the gap between early-stage and growth capital.
