About

PaperJet Ventures is inception capital for Physical AI. We write the first check into US companies building chips, power, robotics, and the supply chain beneath them, usually between a lab result and a first paid pilot.

AI models are well funded. PaperJet backs the deployment layer they depend on, at the point where most investors can’t yet underwrite it. We shorten the time to validation through government contracts, strategic partners, Asia sourcing networks, and milestone sequencing.

The syndicate

I’m Chris Kong, solo GP. Before PaperJet, I worked in investment banking, founded a B2B SaaS company, and led AI products. The portfolio includes Noble Machines, Apollo Atomics, Auriga Space, and H3X.

I syndicate deals where I know the founders directly and did the diligence myself. Recent syndicates have been PaperJet-led SPVs, used when a round needs more than the fund’s check. Occasionally I co-syndicate with operator and angel friends.
