Kern Venture Group is the first Micro VC (Angel) Fund headquartered in Bakersfield, CA We target early stage seed investments in entrepreneurs who are looking to turn revolutionary ideas into disruptive businesses In addition to the area's rich history of innovation, Bakersfield has many ingredients to help foster startup com- munities: successful men and women who have built sustainable businesses from the ground up, strong quality of life, low cost living and close proximity to some of the largest companies in the world What's missing is access to smart, connected and experienced capital from an entrepreneurship group

We're looking for great ideas and teams that can scale into successful, game-changing businesses

Increasing the probability of a company's success by providing capital, connections and mentorship from a venture group

Our Goal Is To Create Lasting Impact In Communities Like Ours

KVG understands that talent exists in communities like ours and that those individuals need access to capital Investing in these types of regions has proven transformational to both the people and the places
