Description

K Street Capital is a Washington, DC-based venture capital firm primarily focused on early-stage technology companies.

The firm typically targets companies at the pre-seed and seed stages, providing crucial capital during the foundational phases of a startup's development. Their investment thesis often centers on sectors such as B2B SaaS, FinTech, HealthTech, GovTech, and AI/ML, reflecting a strategic alignment with emerging technological trends and the unique strengths of the DC area. K Street Capital aims to be more than just a capital provider, offering strategic guidance and network access to its portfolio companies.
