Forget what you think you know about VCs

” King River is one of the best VC firms we’ve worked with. They are highly long-term aligned, have added meaningful value at every stage of growth, with minimal overhead for founder autonomy. They are an exceptional firm and I would recommend them – at the highest level – to any company seeking a long term capital partner. “

” Do you like your investors so much that you would co-found your next company or project with one of the partners? That’s how much I’ve come to trust and appreciate the King River team. They are a rare breed of smart and grounded, down-to-earth and hardworking, results-oriented and daring, practical and yet high conviction, all while maintaining their authenticity. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have partnered with them on our cap table and beyond. Their unique and genuine approach sets them apart from so many other VC types in the industry – they’re unsung leaders and much needed role models for the industry, and it’s an honor and a joy to work with them regularly. “

” It’s a genuine partnership, not just an investment – they are all about making sure we get a good outcome. As a global company, it was important for us to partner with a venture fund with lived global experience and perspective on other regions. They are able to work broadly, be sensitive to other cultures around the world and think about opportunities in developing markets as well as Western markets. “

” I want a strategic advisor with whom I can call and talk in the hardest moments as an entrepreneur – someone who will hold me accountable but do so in a way that’s empathetic to my challenges. It’s rare to have an investor who makes your hardest moments easier. I never hesitated to talk to the King River team when I was dealing with issues, big or small, and without judgment, they would listen with open minds and act as a strategic sounding board. They’re great investors and even better human beings. “
