Kemp Au Ventures

Kemp Au Ventures invests in seed and early-stage tech companies.

Founded by Tom Kemp and Adam Au, we are entrepreneurs who founded and built multiple tech companies that either went public or were acquired by strategics or private equity buyers. We have built companies that have scaled from $0 to over $250m in revenue, were named a "Best Place to Work" by Glassdoor and Tom was even named a NorCal "Entrepreneur of the Year" Finalist by EY.

Tom and Adam are now focused on investing in new ventures from the next generation of entrepreneurs. We are not a VC fund; it’s just the two of us investing our own personal money in combination with us spending quality time helping you in your early company formation stage.

We invest and collaborate alongside other individuals and/or VC firms. Our check amounts range from $100-$500k. Our preference is investing in Bay Area companies so we can have coffee and brainstorming sessions with you, and our sweet spot is enterprise infrastructure and cybersecurity, but we will never say never. Connect and contact us through LinkedIn if you want to talk.
