Description

Maria Palma is a General Partner at Kindred Capital - a London HQ VC who describe themselves as  an ‘equitable venture’ fund where every founder they back becomes a co-owner of the fund.

Kindred have raised £266m across 3 funds & have backed startups like FiveAI, which was sold to Bosch in 2022, and Atlas ML, which was sold to Meta within a year of raising a seed round from Kindred.

Maria explained why:

• Kindred's equitable venture model nurtures mutual support & learning across their portfolio
• there's so much imposter syndrome amongst European founders
• Europe is taking the lead in creating businesses that combine AI with leading-edge science
• the VC funding model is directly responsible for creating Gartner Hype Cycles
