I invest in & assist non-technical founders
build and launch >$5M businesses,
every 8 weeks.
I invest in early-stage startups chasing a $10M valuation in year one - and a $50M+ exit within five.
I'm Ken Kencevski, and I've spent my career helping founders turn bold ideas into thriving tech ventures.
For the last 10 years I've owned and run a full-suite tech house that has launched over 150 digital products, many now multi-million-dollar companies with successful exits or thriving operations.
As an angel investor, I bring more than capital: hands-on technology support, strategic advice, and access to a collective of VC partners who step in with additional funding and expertise when needed.
My focus is helping tech businesses grow sustainably and scale effectively through technology, without the pressure to chase unicorn status.
