Ruud Dekker

Ruud Dekker currently serves as an Investor at Kickstart Fund, an early-stage venture capital firm focused on providing seed capital to emerging technology startups. In his capacity at the firm, he works closely alongside established venture capitalists, including General Partners Kat Kennedy and Curt Roberts, as well as Partner Dalton Wright. Together with this leadership team, Dekker is responsible for sourcing new investment deals, evaluating prospective startup business models, and deploying capital into high-growth opportunities across the broader startup ecosystem. Because Kickstart Fund operates primarily within the seed-stage investment landscape, his daily activities involve analyzing market trends and identifying founders who require initial institutional backing to scale their operations. Dekker's current professional focus remains entirely dedicated to executing early-stage venture investments and supporting the strategic development of the firm's growing portfolio of emerging technology companies.
