CAK VENTURES invests in founders with global ambitions who are creating products that meet the needs of tomorrow’s internet users.
We invest at seed and pre-seed into companies that reflect changing demographics, including: aging and longevity, the increased spending power of women, and the shift to majority-minority.
three layers of cake
We are in the golden age of aging and longevity.
By 2034, Americans over 65 will outnumber those under 18.
This large and economically powerful demographic group increasingly has the expectation that they will use technology and innovation to address the unique challenges of late life.
Today's aging consumers will use software to help them age in place, manage finances, or find work and purpose beyond retirement.
Aging & Longevity
Women are the original influencers and they’ve become the consumers that drive growth.
Women wield influence over the many ways they connect online, shop, and access products and services for both themselves and their families.
Female consumers are driving companies to multi-billion-dollar outcomes in categories like women's health, e-commerce, the care economy, and more.
The opportunities for the female economy are vast and wide.
Spending power of women
The rising New Majority are early technology adopters who drive internet culture.
Shifting demographics have made Asian, Black, and Latino people the fastest-growing and most lucrative consumer groups in the U.S. and beyond.
The shift to a majority-minority nation has unlocked opportunities for technology and software companies that address the unsolved problems and unmet needs of these consumers: improved healthcare outcomes, more inclusive financial products, and culture-driven consumer technology.
