Kevin Fong built his venture career across multiple eras, starting with Legato Systems—an exit that helped define his time at Mayfield, where he later ran the firm with $4B under management before helping start GSR Ventures—and he holds an MBA and MS in electrical engineering from Stanford plus a BS in electrical engineering from Berkeley, alongside earlier operating roles at David Systems, HP, and Nortel/Bell Northern Research. He has also sat on the boards of DataVisor and DeepMap, recognized China's potential for early-stage tech investing back in 2003, joined MVP after diligencing the firm while it led a round in oneNav, and now lives in Las Vegas rather than Silicon Valley.
About their Fund
MVP Ventures describes itself as a top-tier co-investor rather than a lead investor, combining three types of capital—broad retail investors, a select group of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and institutional/family-office money—and using its own data systems to spot and rank startups early, sometimes even before they have a website. It focuses its post-investment help on four specific areas (go-to-market, talent, government, and capital markets), dedicates a large share of its team to this support, and often invests a smaller amount while still aiming to be founders' most valued investor, a pattern reflected in its focus on hard-tech, robotics, aerospace, and AI companies and its willingness to lead later-stage deep-tech rounds when conviction is high.
