Kindred Ventures - Custom WordPress Theme

Kindred Ventures is a San Francisco–based early-stage venture capital firm that backs visionary founders building transformative technology across sectors like AI, climate, fintech, crypto/Web3, health, and more. The firm needed a robust digital platform that could elegantly showcase its mission, portfolio, research, news, team, and insights — all while giving them full control over complex content structures and editorial flexibility.

Kindred’s website required a content architecture capable of handling a large volume of dynamic, interconnected content — from portfolio companies and sector categories to research articles, team bios, and press news. Static pages alone weren’t sufficient; they needed a system that could scale with ongoing updates and support editorial autonomy without sacrificing performance or usability.

We developed a custom WordPress website with advanced content capabilities tailored to Kindred’s needs, with a focus on flexibility, scalability, and editorial control.

Our work included:

Custom Post Types for portfolio companies, research, news, team members, and sector categories — ensuring structured content that’s easy for WordPress editors to manage.

Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to create intuitive, tailored input interfaces for complex data — from company details and sector filters to team roles and publication metadata.

Custom CMS Interfaces that empower the internal team to add, edit, and link content without developer dependencies.

Flexible Templates & Taxonomies to automatically generate rich archive pages and interconnected content views (e.g., sorting portfolio by sector).

Responsive and optimized front-end design built to reflect Kindred’s brand identity while ensuring readability and performance across devices.

The final site gives Kindred Ventures a powerful, scalable digital home that meets both editorial and strategic demands. With a custom WordPress setup equipped with tailored post types and ACF-driven fields, the Kindred team can efficiently publish and update content, showcase portfolio companies with rich contextual data, and grow their digital footprint without bottlenecks.

The result is a dynamic, high-performance CMS platform that supports Kindred’s mission to highlight visionary founders and communicate its investment thesis — from deep tech to emerging markets. The site now serves as both a marketing hub and a content engine that evolves with the firm’s growth and portfolio developments.
