HK-47 backs exceptional founders earlier than the traditional venture ecosystem.
Some of the most interesting builders in the next decade are still teenagers. They are already experimenting with ideas, building products, and teaching themselves the skills needed to start companies.
Most simply lack their first check and a partner who understands what they are trying to build.
HK-47 exists to fill that gap.
What We Look For
We are not looking for polished startups.
We are looking for builders.
Teenagers who are curious, self-directed, and already creating things because they cannot help themselves.
Who we are
How It Works
Founders can apply in two ways.
You can reach out directly through the contact page on this site, or send us a message on X.
We review every submission and schedule a short call with founders whose projects show promise. After that, we will provide a decision on funding in a week.
Our goal is simple: find exceptional teenage builders early and help them keep going.
Why HK-47
Great founders often start earlier than most people realize.
HK-47 exists to find them early and support them as they begin building something meaningful.
We have founded, invested, advised, and exited multiple companies. Leverage our experience as you build yours.
