Digital Strategy

Let’s face it, the digital landscape is ever evolving and it can be quite difficult to constantly keep up with. At Kombo, it is our duty to make sure we stay on top of the evolution of digital marketing. We use insights from our own internal brands to drive strategy and growth for our clients.

Kevin Gould,
Founder and CEO

Kombo Ventures is a diversified holding company focused on launching, operating, and investing in consumer brands, technology, and entertainment. Kombo has co-founded three rapidly growing direct-to-consumer brands (Glamnetic, Insert Name Here, and Wakeheart) which will collectively generate over $100m in revenue in 2021.

In addition, Kombo also owns a talent management division. Many traditional talent management firms, while experienced in the entertainment space, don't specialize in building businesses and brands. We set out to create an environment where talent can take advantage of our experience in both industries enabling artists and creators to become entrepreneurs and build long-term growth for their careers.

Kombo Ventures extensive network, relationships, and experience in the digital creator and ecommerce space uniquely positions us with access to extensive deal flow. This led to the creation of Kombo Ventures AngelList syndicate which provides our LP's with access to our deal flow. Our successful track record of past investments includes Gyft (acquired by First Data), Draft Kings (IPO) Whistle (acquired by Mars), Step, CashDrop, Clutter, Jukin Media and many more.
