Kiran Parekh is an Investor at HOF Capital, focusing on frontier technologies and AI infrastructure.
Kiran's path to venture started with an early obsession with science fiction, which turned into a lasting fascination with technology that expands what humans can do, explore, and understand.
Prior to joining HOF, Kiran did research at NYU Langone before a few startup roles led him into investing, where he focused on later-stage software and AI at Lead Edge Capital and Silversmith Capital Partners.
What excites him most: contrarian founders building "net new" categories: things that seem weird or impossible at first but eventually become core to how we live and work.
Kiran holds a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School, concentrating in Finance and Artificial Intelligence. He was the first graduate of Wharton's AI concentration, which has since become an official program at the school.
