Seven Companies, Backed From Day One
Five of the seven companies below were built by the team at one of Kaufman & Company’s platform companies, then funded and held by Daniel Kaufman Ventures: BridgeStar direct from Kaufman & Company, FoundCheck from Kaufman Ventures, Spreadsight from DanReDev, Meridian from Convivium Living, and LandBriefing from Kaufman Real Estate & Consulting. Two are funding-only holdings, not developed by a Kaufman & Company platform company: Mr Good Container Homes, funded by Kaufman Ventures, and ServerDomes, funded jointly by Kaufman Ventures and Lonestar Kaufman Development Partners. A related project, Project Zero, micro and mid-scale data centers and edge computing, is direct development through DanReDev rather than a venture holding, and lives on the DanReDev company page at thekaufmanco.com.
