Karlin Ventures

Karlin Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund based in Los Angeles.

Karlin Ventures is an affiliate of Karlin Asset Management, a private investment firm managing over $1.4 billion of unleveraged equity capital.

Our Investment Criteria

Our focus is on education technology, digital media, healthcare, financial services, and consumer goods, but we are open to exciting ideas in other verticals. We seek investments from $100,000 to $1,500,000 and typically do not take lead investor roles.

We invest in U.S.-based companies, preferably on the West Coast.

We look for business models with proof-of-concept in place (post-revenue or with secured contracts) that are requiring less than $5,000,000 and three years to reach the break-even point.
