A family-owned venture company
Everyday ideas, built into things people need.
Kinno Ventures works with the people who live the problems, and turns their ideas into products that industries and everyday people need before they know they need them.
Family-owned and run by the three people whose names are on it.Collaborate. Elevate. Nurture.
We are not a factory for our own ideas. We are a place where good ideas, ours and other people's, get the structure, the backing and the patience to become real.
Collaborate
Work with the people who have the problem
The best ideas come from the person who lives the problem every day. We build with them, not for them, and their name stays on it.
Elevate
Give a good idea a path
An idea on a napkin needs structure, money, a plan and someone who has done it before. We bring those, so the idea gets a fair shot.
Nurture
Grow it in small, proven steps
We build in small pieces, prove each one, and reuse what works. That is how an idea survives contact with the real world.
How we work
Build it once. Prove it. Use it everywhere.
Every venture under this roof runs on the same foundation and one way of working. That is why a family this size can carry more than one idea at a time.
One job per piece
Each piece does one job and returns one result. Small enough to check, small enough to trust.
Proven once
Every piece gets checked by independent reviewers and a real-world trial before anything is built on it.
Reused everywhere
The pieces that work carry over to the next idea. The second product is faster than the first, and the third is faster still.
At least half of what we build gets used more than once, so the foundation comes first.
Josh Lawson, Founder and President
Bring an idea
Have an idea that would make a difference?
If you are willing to put in the work, we want to hear it. Family first, but not family only.
Send Josh a short note: the problem, who has it, and why you are the person to fix it. That is the whole application.
Bring an idea- A person with a problem from their own work
A trade, an office, a kitchen, a classroom. You know the problem better than anyone.
- A small company with ambition and no runway for new ideas
You have customers and a good idea. You do not have a year to build it. We can share the build.
- Somebody who wants to make a difference, not just a sale
We build things people actually need. If that is the goal, we will get along.
Three people, one table
Family-owned means exactly that. The people building this are the people whose names are on it.
