Frequently asked questions

Does 415 Ventures participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

All known investment activity — venture studio mentoring and direct real estate ownership — is direct. The firm has not disclosed any commitments to external funds. However, Kolodziejak's role at Techstars and Plug and Play is as a mentor, not an LP, so fund commitments through those programs cannot be confirmed.

What is 415 Ventures's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?

No co-investments with external GPs have been disclosed. The firm's venture-studio approach and direct real estate ownership — a Bronx mixed-use building, two residential assets on the West Coast and in Oklahoma, and a Munich medtech portfolio — are held internally. Co-investment terms, if any exist, are negotiated deal by deal.
