Kernel Fund pitch

Tell us what is broken.

Ten minutes, honestly, plus a video of up to two and a half minutes in whichever language you are comfortable in. We read every pitch the week it arrives and reply either way. A deck helps but is not required; the video and the three long answers are what we actually look at.

01 / You

Your name*

Email*

Phone*

For the coffee, not for a sales call.

02 / The three of you

Who runs operations*

Kernel Fund backs teams of three: operations, finance, and an executor. Put yourself in the seat you will sit in.

Who runs finance*

Who executes*

The one who builds the thing or sells it.

03 / The idea

What do you call it*

Sector*

Not on the list? Pick Other. The sectors are where we have an edge, not a filter.

In one sentence*

What is broken, and who suffers*

What you would build*

Why you*

When does the first customer pay, and who is already with you*

It is not about valuation. It is about how fast your cash flow starts and how strong your supply network is.

04 / The video

Video link*

Up to 2.5 minutes: the idea and the three of you, on a phone is fine. Speak whichever language you are most comfortable in; it does not have to be English. Upload to YouTube (unlisted), Google Drive or Loom and make sure anyone with the link can open it.

05 / The deck, if you have one

Upload

PDF, PowerPoint or Keynote, up to 25 MB.

Or a link to it

Drive, Dropbox, Figma, Loom. Either one is enough.

Anything else worth a look

06 / Last bit

It compiled. Thank you.

That did not go through.
