Eric D Kroll

I'm an investor/advisor & explorer.

My work:

I invest across private and public markets, with a focus on fund commitments, co-investments, and selective direct opportunities spanning venture, private equity, and credit.

I’ve been investing for over a decade and actively evaluate new managers and opportunities across both established platforms and emerging funds.

In parallel, I work closely with founders and investment managers on growth, strategy, and capital formation—particularly where I can help connect the right people, capital, and opportunities.

I maintain an active network of family offices, operators, and investors, and regularly share and review deal flow across liquid and cash-flowing strategies.

I’ve worked with and alongside a range of funds and companies across growth, early-stage, and turnaround environments.

I enjoy connecting interesting people and ideas, particularly where there’s potential for meaningful long-term value creation.

Based in Venice, CA, with time spent across NYC and SF.

My other passions: Sports, Travel, Games, Food, Creative Problem Solving, Fun.

My background: My parents moved me around a lot, requiring me to nimble and flexible. Brown University ('98) expanded my horizons and encouraged my independence. NYC and Amex opened up my world of business. Stanford B School ('04) unleashed an entrepreneur, causing me to constantly seek out opportunities to make a difference. Startups and a seemingly never-ending flow of new ideas make each day a new experience. Most of my time is spent in LA with frequent trips to NYC & SF.
