Baukunst

Baukunst is a venture capital firm dedicated to leading pre-seed investments in companies at the intersection of technology and design. With its inaugural $100 million fund, Baukunst focuses on partnering with creative technologists, often making the first institutional investment that a founding team receives. The firm typically invests between $500,000 and $2 million, aiming to lead every round and take an active role in building companies from the ground up. Baukunst's investment strategy emphasizes high conviction and deep engagement, offering more than just capital. The firm provides hands-on support during the critical early stages of company development, helping with hiring, customer acquisition, and product launch. Their portfolio spans diverse industries, including AI-powered platforms, sustainable energy solutions, and digital health technologies. Led by four general partners with extensive experience in building companies, Baukunst prioritizes companies that push the boundaries of innovation. Their portfolio includes startups like Omnibus (a digital comic platform), DIG Energy (affordable geothermal energy), and Eyebot (AI-driven eye exams). By investing in the early, formative stages, Baukunst partners with founders to transform bold ideas into enduring companies.
