Kombo Ventures is a Los Angeles-based venture builder and diversified holding company founded in 2012 that operates as a hybrid of talent management, brand incubation, and digital agency services while actively investing in startups. The firm focuses on building companies in B2C, retail, technology, consumer brands, media and entertainment, luxury, digital health, and fitness sectors, primarily within North America. Founder and CEO Kevin Gould invests in early to mid-stage startups, though specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly detailed. Notable portfolio companies include the direct-to-consumer brands Insert Name Here (hair extensions), Wakeheart (fragrance co-founded with the Dolan Twins), and Glamnetic (magnetic eyeliner and lashes). Kombo Ventures distinguishes itself by combining digital talent management with brand creation, leveraging Gould’s experience as an entrepreneur and talent manager to build digitally native brands. The firm does not appear to publish distinctive public writing or a formal investment thesis beyond its operational hybrid model and sector focus.
