## Questions

### Who runs investment decisions at Kitchen Ventures?

John Lin, the firm's Founder and Managing Partner, leads investment decisions. He set up Kitchen Ventures to focus on the food-tech sector, a thesis-driven approach that reflects his own operating and investing background in the space. No additional general partners or investment committee members have been publicly identified.

### Which sectors and industries does Kitchen Ventures explicitly avoid?

Kitchen Ventures does not invest outside the food and hospitality technology stack. Enterprise software, fintech, biotech, and generalist consumer internet deals are excluded from the mandate. This sector concentration is a deliberate structural choice rather than a temporary portfolio tilt.

### Does Kitchen Ventures manage a portfolio of restaurant operating businesses alongside its fund?

No. Despite its name and sector focus, Kitchen Ventures is structured strictly as an investment firm, not a restaurant group or holding company. It takes equity positions in technology startups; it does not own or operate hospitality venues directly.
