Our Thesis

We back companies building hard technology with durable moats. A few things that matter to us:

Frontier verticals. AI, deep tech, defense, space, fintech, and robotics. We focus on companies solving difficult technical problems in markets with real institutional or government demand.

Early to growth stage. We invest where there is credible commercial momentum and a visible path to scale, from early traction through growth rounds.

Institutional diligence. Every deal runs through the same underwriting discipline we apply on the merchant banking side of Klaris. We operate deal-by-deal through SPVs, with Finalis Securities as broker-dealer of record.

Aligned capital. Our family office backing means we invest alongside our LPs, not just adjacent to them.

Deal Flow

Our pipeline comes from Klaris Capital's principal investing activity and merchant banking relationships across the US technology ecosystem. We source selectively, underwrite each opportunity independently, and bring LPs into the specific deals that clear our bar. We frequently invest alongside institutional funds and strategic investors.

How We Work

Klaris Ventures operates deal-by-deal through SPVs. LPs review each opportunity individually and choose their participation. Check sizes and access vary by deal.

Investment Disclaimer: Startup investing carries substantial risk. Most startups fail and investors may lose their entire investment. These investments are highly illiquid with no established secondary market; LPs should expect to hold for 5 to 10 years with limited exit opportunities. Startups have limited reporting requirements and may provide incomplete information. A single SPV provides limited diversification compared to a diversified fund. Please consider these and other risk factors before investing.
