K Street Capital

K Street Capital

K Street Capital operates as a venture syndicate out of Denver and New York. Managing Partner Paige Soya runs a four-person investment team that includes Principal Nick Duafala, Operations Manager Allison Kanter, and Investment Manager Joseph Whang. The firm publicly states its mission is to provide capital, industry expertise, mentorship, and community to early-stage companies. The strategy centers on seed-stage investing across a broad mandate. K Street Capital has made over 160 investments into more than 85 companies, according to its own disclosures. The firm does not publicly name specific portfolio companies or sector concentrations. Its website reports a 10-year IRR of 28%, more than 30 markups, and an unspecified number of unicorns and exits. The syndicate's executive committee draws on experience that includes membership on the DC Fund of Funds Investment Committee, though the firm does not disclose how that relationship shapes deal flow. Beyond the core four professionals, K Street Capital lists a syndicate executive committee that includes Executive Recruiter Julian Ha, FrontierView CEO Richard Leggett, DigitSec VP Philip Lepanto, SmartAC.com CDO Zach Axelrod, and entrepreneur Dadi Akhavan. The firm maintains offices in Denver and New York. K Street Capital's structural differentiator is its syndicate model, which invites individuals to learn and participate directly in venture capital. The firm's website frames membership as a vehicle for investor education alongside capital deployment — a hybrid of angel network and traditional venture firm.
