A small, hands on partnership.

Byron Ling

Partner

We started Twelve Below to reshape the future of venture capital — partnering with founders and offering them the guidance they need to get through product market fit.

I seek breakthrough ideas from founders who have a secret insight about the market that they are attacking, and are obsessed about the problem they are solving. I’ve spent the last ten years as a partner at leading early stage firms Primary and Canaan.

Prior board roles and investments include: Ro, Papa, K Health, Mirror (NASDAQ: LULU), Italic, Osmind and Mantra Health.

Allison Kiang

Investor

At Twelve Below, I invest as a first believer, looking for exceptional talent working on breakthrough ideas before they are obvious. I look for founders focused on systems and design, building edges in product that help carve out data moats.

Before Twelve Below, I was on strategy and customer success teams at Komodo Health, building data products and analytics applications serving pharma, payors, and providers.

I am a Bay Area native turned New Yorker and graduated from Columbia University with a degree in neuroscience. In my free time, I run marathons, enjoy live music, and cook dishes from around the world in my tiny kitchen.
