Investment Thesis

Kogito Ventures partners with founders building ‘their life’s most ambitious project’ by backing moonshot aspirations and velocity. They believe in identifying venture-compatible businesses with high scalability potential and defensible business models, recognizing that VC investing requires finding outliers with potential for outsized returns. Their approach emphasizes constant de-risking, validating business models, and eliminating risks at each stage to build value.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Honest about VC value-add limitations: 'Most VC "value add" is an oversell' - they acknowledge support is limited to networking, sounding board, and avoiding mistakes rather than claiming transformational involvement
  • Explicit anti-meddling approach: 'we don't meddle, don't pretend to know better, and only try to help when both sides feel that we can really add value'
  • Strong emphasis on frugality and constraints: believe constraints create 'healthier business foundation' and 'unbeatable organizational culture'
  • Long-term oriented with founder-friendly terms: 'avoid unfair clauses in investment agreements, maintain a long-term perspective'
  • Hands-on partner network: Venture Partners are successful founders from their own portfolio (Jutro Medical, Simpl.rent, Packhelp, PsiBufet)
  • History of early success: First investment returned 34x, validating their approach
