Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Falkon Ventures?
Kyle Ballarta, as Founder and CEO, leads investment decisions with support from Principal Tobin Krieg and Venture Partner Mike Del Ponte. The firm operates a small senior team and does not publish an investment committee roster. Ballarta’s operating experience scaling LifeProof to a $400 million revenue run rate shapes the firm’s emphasis on founder-led diligence.
How does Falkon Ventures source proprietary deal flow?
Falkon deploys a proprietary value-network analysis that Principal Tobin Krieg runs through the firm’s intelligence team. This method builds intentional support ecosystems around target companies, drawing on Ballarta’s relationships from the defense technology community — including NASA and U.S. Special Operations ties from Citadel Drone Defense — and his academic network across St. Edward’s, Babson College, and Columbia Business School.
