Krillion Ventures is a Miami-based venture capital firm founded in 2014 by Managing Partners Melissa Krinzman and Jeffrey Miller. The firm invests in seed and Series A stage tech-enabled companies solving problems in healthcare, financial services, and real estate. Krinzman brings more than 25 years of experience launching early-stage companies and previously founded Venture Architects in New York City in 1998, a business planning firm that helped over 1,000 companies raise more than $1 billion. The firm also operates Venture Architects as a consulting arm alongside the venture fund. Krillion invests $100,000 to $1 million per deal, with a sweet spot of $500,000, and has backed 34 companies to date. The portfolio has produced three unicorns: EquipmentShare (peer-to-peer construction equipment marketplace), HomeLight (real estate agent matching platform), and Insightec (incisionless surgery). Wheels Up, the private aviation membership company, IPO'd on NYSE in November 2020. Other notable exits include SeedInvest (acquired by Circle), Sellbrite (acquired by GoDaddy), and Wyre (crypto bank transfers). Active portfolio companies include Cohealo (health system equipment optimization), DeepBlocks (AI real estate development), Heru (AI vision diagnostics), Memic (robotic surgery), Inner Cosmos (brain-computer interface for depression), Kashable (employer-sponsored credit benefit), Nearpod (K-12 edtech), Flourish (cannabis supply chain), and Wesper (sleep data).

The firm's focus on the intersection of technology and traditionally underserved verticals — healthcare operations, real estate tech, and fintech — reflects a belief that the largest inefficiencies attract the best venture returns.
