Beta Boom is led by two general partners, Kimmy and Sergio Paluch

Yes, they share a last name because they are married and have been partners in life and business for over twenty years. Both share a conviction in the power of uniqueness and how innovator’s varied backgrounds and experiences are the fuel that drive true innovation.


Kimmy and Sergio have two boys, Rafael and Adrian, who were Beta Boomers from the beginning, hanging out with founders in Beta Boom’s office over the summer of 2018. Rafael wants to work for Beta Boom one day and Adrian wants to be a professional footballer (soccer player).
Read our origin story

Hi, I'm Kimmy!

General Partner
I was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica as the youngest of five girls. With a resilient mother who put cracks in the glass ceiling and a father who stood up for women's potential. Growing up in that environment, becoming a feminist was an inevitability.

Hi, I'm Sergio

General Partner
My Polish name is Sergiusz (ser-gyoush), but I go by Sergio (like Sergio Leone). I grew up in a small town in southern Poland and landed in late 1980s Chelsea, Massachusetts. At the time it was the East Coast's heroin hub, run by gangs like the X-Men and Latin Kings.

The Model
We're Creating

01
The next generation of founders is going to look very different from the last one. Unique life experiences, different backgrounds, and based beyond Silicon Valley. We call these founders Originals.
02
Yet while entrepreneurship evolves rapidly, investment models have barely changed since the 1960s, or even the late 1800s when venture capital funded whaling expeditions in New England.
03
Our goal is to find founders who wouldn't make it through a traditional VC filter, back them based on what they can do rather than who they know, and help them build companies that actually matter.
