Kate McAndrew is the Co-Founder and General Partner of Baukunst, a San Francisco-based venture firm managing a $100M inaugural fund that backs creative technologists at the intersection of technology and design. With over a decade of pre-seed investing experience - including nearly eight years at Bolt where she was the first employee and rose to Partner - she has invested in 100+ companies and leads every round she enters, targeting 15%+ ownership at pre-seed. She is also the founder of Women in Hardware, the largest network for technical women in the hardware ecosystem, and co-author of 'The Goddess Guide to Branding.'
Tyler Mincey is Co-Founder and General Partner at Baukunst, a San Francisco-based pre-seed venture firm that raised a $100 million debut fund in 2022 - the largest debut pre-seed fund ever raised. A Princeton-trained mechanical engineer who helped ship the first iPhone and 150+ million Apple devices, Mincey brings rare hardware-to-venture credibility: he co-founded a car-tech startup (Pearl Automation), pioneered an embedded engineering team inside Bolt VC, and now leads Baukunst's bet that the next generation of breakthrough companies will be built at the intersection of technology and design.
