Kinetic Ventures is an early and growth stage investor in rural broadband, digital infrastructure and enterprise software companies. Entrepreneurs, we like to partner with you when you are seeking your first $1 million to $50 million in institutional capital. For broadband opportunities we seek to fund companies planning significant subscriber growth. For enterprise software our most comfortable time to make an initial investment is when your customers have begun to pay for your product. Over our three decades of investing, we have developed deep domain knowledge in enterprise software, broadband and cleantech. We are investing from our tenth fund. Our recent funds have been capitalized by endowment, pension, insurance and family office investors. Earlier in our history, Kinetic was a pioneer of the corporate venture model. For two decades we managed capital for a group of Fortune 500 corporate investors.
