Managing Partner, Kitchen Fund

About

Greg Golkin brings an unusual combination of tech startup CEO experience and Wall Street training to restaurant investing, having founded and sold a technology company after starting at Goldman Sachs' Technology, Media & Telecom group. He made early personal investments in category-defining brands like Sweetgreen and Cava while at Maverick Capital, and now focuses on digitally enabled, mission-driven restaurant concepts that operate more like consumer-tech companies with first-party data and direct digital channels.
