Founders tell us capital is the least valuable asset we provide.

"Partnering with Katz & KO was a turning point for us. The capital they provided ended up being the least valuable thing they delivered - their insights, network, and ability to help us punch through critical obstacles made all the difference."
Michael Haddix, Founder @ Scout
"We see hundreds of opportunities every year, but the ones brought to us through Katz & KO consistently stand out: high-quality, well-vetted and ahead of the curve. Their access and judgment have become an invaluable extension of our sourcing strategy."

Partners and Friends of Katz & Ko
"Great teams win because of great people - whether it's in Major League Baseball or in building businesses. Katz & KO understands that human capital is the foundation of every lasting success. Their ability to identify, invest in, and empower exceptional talent is unmatched. It’s rare to find partners who bring both strategic insight and a genuine commitment to the people they work with - and that’s exactly what sets Katz. & Ko apart."
— Oli Marmol | Entrepreneur & Manager of the STL Cardinals
"Throughout my football career (the real football), from Barcelona to Major League Soccer, I have seen that success - in any country, on any pitch - is always driven by culture and human capital. Katz & KO shares that same global understanding: that investing in people, leadership, and vision creates lasting value. Partnering with them has been an inspiring experience, combining world-class expertise with a genuine passion for building the future."
— Oriol (Uri) Rosell | Former MLS player
"Katz & Ko was instrumental in our success - they moved faster than anyone else, delivered critical capital exactly when we needed it, and helped us surround the company with real venture partners, not vulture funds."
— Palaniswamy “Raj” Rajan | Chairman & CEO of Softwear Automation
"Andy and I first met on the links, but by the fifth hole, it was clear - this was someone I wanted to be tied to well beyond just golf. Katz leads with integrity, competes with grit, and values relationships above else. I’m proud to call him a friend."
— Vince Carter
"As a first-time CEO, having Katz & KO on our team has been nothing short of essential. Their strategic advice, deep network, and ability to spot opportunities - and dodge icebergs - have given me the confidence to make smarter decisions. They've been true partners, helping us navigate growth, make the right moves, and stay focused on building enterprise value"
— Ashley Loyd, SmartPin
"I only wish I had met Katz & KO earlier in my NBA career. Their diligence and guidance has kept me out of some bad investments. They have made a real difference."
— Kyle Lowry, NBA Champion
"Katz & KO believed in me before the world did. Without their relationship capital, encouragement, and relentless support, I’d still be rounding first base. They helped turn my vision into real momentum, and I’ll always be thankful for them."
— Alec Parower, PhitAI
