2024 Kapor Capital Annual Meeting

Our 2024 Annual Meeting in Oakland brought together our limited partners from across the country to celebrate a year of transformative investments in gap-closing companies.

The event kicked off with a welcome and opening presentation from our Co-Managing Partners Brian Dixon and Uriridiakoghene (Ulili) Onovakpuri , with Venture Partner Brandon Boros . Our limited partners then heard directly from a few of our portfolio companies on their founding story, how their companies are closing gaps of access for communities in need, and their vision for using tech to build a more inclusive and equitable future.

• Malaica’s co-founders Lorraine Muluka and Pascal Koenig showcased their work making the pregnancy journey safer and more affordable for millions of expecting mothers in Sub-Saharan Africa.
• Formation’s co-founder and CEO Sophie Novati sat down with our Chief of Staff Jolynn Vallejo for a deep dive on how her company is helping experienced engineers secure dream roles at top tech companies.
• King of the Curve’s three co-founders AndrewPaul McIntosh, William Kelly, and Heath Rutledge-Jukes highlighted how their platform is democratizing access to exam prep for students across the country.
• Rain’s co-founder and CEO Maxwell Brodie gave a detailed overview of their autonomous aircraft technology, which is helping fire agencies tackle wildfires swiftly and effectively while saving lives and protecting precious ecosystems.

Members of our Platform team — Cliff Worley, Head of Portfolio Marketing, Hilliary Turnipseed, Senior Director of Talent, and Tesheia van der Horst, Director of Portfolio Services — then took the stage to share more about their crucial work helping our portfolio companies scale from 0 to 1. They offered insights on how they work with our founders to streamline hiring processes, acquire customers, and craft go-to-market strategies that drive impactful business growth.

Our Chief of Staff Jolynn Vallejo wrapped up an inspiring day of presentations by announcing the launch of the 2024 Kapor Capital Impact Report, which examines our 2023 investments and the impact of the capital we deployed, as well as the diversity – both demographically and geographically – that underpins our investment thesis.

Since 2011, we have invested exclusively in startups that use technology to close gaps of access and opportunity for low-income communities and communities of color. Thirteen years in, we continue to prove that impact and profit can — and must — go hand in hand, showcasing how the companies in our portfolio are changing the venture capital landscape across sectors such as EdTech, HealthTech, ClimateTech, and more.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the limited partners who joined us for our Annual Meeting virtually and in person: thank you for supporting our mission to invest in innovative gap-closing companies that are building a truly inclusive and equitable future for all.
