Josh Coyne is a Partner at Kleiner Perkins, where he invests in startups applying AI across software and hardware. He has invested in companies including Armadin, Browserbase, CuspAI, Garner Health, OpenEvidence, Stord, Synthesia, and TerraFirma.

Prior to joining Kleiner Perkins in 2017, Josh was at Qatalyst Partners, where he advised on multi-billion-dollar acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and financings across a variety of technology sectors.

Originally from Cleveland, Josh graduated summa cum laude from Boston College with a degree in Computer Science and Finance. Outside of work, Josh loves HIIT classes, Chick-fil-A, sports, thrillers, and nerding out on nutrition/health. He lives with his wife, daughter, and Siberian cat in SF.

“I spend a lot of my time working with companies in applied AI, productivity, fintech, data infrastructure, and cybersecurity. Having said that, I love listening to and learning from any founder who is dead-set on reinventing an industry — regardless of said industry. I’m all ears.”
