Frequently asked questions
How does the firm source its venture capital deal flow?
The firm sources primarily through co-investor relationships with established venture capital firms. Given its long operating history and presence in New York, the office has built durable ties to the early-stage ecosystem, participating in rounds sourced by venture firms where Kraus has direct relationships with general partners.
How is M. Kraus & Company different from a venture capital firm?
Unlike a venture capital firm, M. Kraus & Company does not raise funds from limited partners, does not charge management or performance fees to external investors, and faces no mandate-driven deployment timelines or exit-pressure cycles. It is permanent family capital, which allows the firm to hold positions indefinitely — a structural difference that affects everything from deal selection to portfolio construction.
