K2 Global

Founder Ozi Amanat leads the firm. He launched K2 Global in 2015 and draws on a personal track record that includes early backing of Spotify, Airbnb, and Palantir. The firm does not publicly disclose a broader investment committee structure.

K2 Global uses a dual-office structure in Singapore and Silicon Valley. The Silicon Valley presence provides on-the-ground access to US founders and syndicates, while the Singapore office channels Asian capital. Amanat’s personal network, built through earlier deals with Uber, Spotify, and Coinbase, serves as a sourcing advantage.

K2 Global primarily makes direct equity investments in private technology companies, from seed to pre-IPO. The firm markets itself as a direct venture investor rather than a fund-of-funds, and public materials do not reference commitments to third-party venture funds.

K2 Global does not publish a formal exclusions list. Public disclosures focus on internet, software, and technology-enabled companies, which suggests the firm generally stays within venture-grade tech sectors and avoids capital-intensive industries like heavy manufacturing or resource extraction.

K2 Global operates as a direct investor but its cross-border model implies frequent co-investment with US-based venture firms. The firm’s website highlights participation in rounds alongside other institutional backers for companies like Uber and Paytm, indicating a collaborative rather than purely solo-investor strategy.
