Attention entrepreneurs: K9 Ventures, an early-stage VC fund that has backed some of the more exciting startups to hit the world in the last few years, is raising another fund. K9 Ventures II is a $40 million tech fund that will, once again, be dedicated to seed stage investments. The key difference this time around investments will be between?$250,000 - $750,000. "This will allow us to potentially lead the seed round," writes Manu Kumar in a blog post. The previous, eponymous fund was for early-stage investments in the range of $100,000-$250,000. As with the last fund, Kumar notes that?K9 Ventures II will still be "syndicating most investments with other seed and angel investors." The fund is backed, he says, by?"several high quality institutional limited partners including university endowments, foundations, family offices and fund of funds and key individuals." None are named specifically.
