Sriram Krishnan and I are thrilled to announce the launch of Kearny Jackson Fund III, a $65 million pre-seed and seed-stage venture capital fund backing founders ideating and building the next generation of B2B companies. The story behind Kearny Jackson started seven years ago when Sriram and I met through a VC fantasy soccer league (thanks again to Damir Becirovic & Dino Becirovic!). Sriram and I would meet every Friday at Kearny St & Jackson St to catch up and discuss early-stage opportunities. Over the years and several co-investments later, these streets laid the foundation of our friendship but also became a symbolic representation of Sriram’s founding/operating background and my institutional investing background that came to form KJ. A heartfelt thank you to our founders, LPs, and peers for your ongoing trust and support. We cannot wait to share the next vintage of founders we are backing. Special thanks to TechCrunch for covering our journey.
