Kindred Ventures
Kindred Ventures is a San Francisco-based, earliest-stage venture capital firm founded in 2014 by Steve Jang and led today as a partnership with Managing Partners Steve Jang and Kanyi Maqubela. The firm backs visionary and relentless founders building the future with technology and science, investing primarily at the pre-seed and seed stage and often partnering with entrepreneurs before a company is even formed. Kindred runs a deliberately concentrated, high-touch model of roughly 25 companies per fund, and has backed 100+ startups whose aggregate market capitalization now exceeds $200B. It invests across AI and new computing, crypto/web3, fintech, consumer, health and wellness, climate tech, mobility and logistics, and developer tools and infrastructure. With around $600M in assets under management, notable investments and exits include Uber, Coinbase, Poshmark, Reddit, Postmates, Blue Bottle Coffee, Perplexity, Tala, Magic Eden, dYdX, and PlayAI (acquired by Meta in 2025).
Kindred Ventures is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kindred Ventures is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
