Kris Pałucki

Investment Director

Deep technology creates sustainable competitive advantage and high barriers to entry. However, exponential growth demands more: stellar product leadership and relentless execution.

Kris is a product-driven investor with hands-on experience building and scaling Product-Led Growth companies. He's particularly focused on teams where product, data, and user experience are the main growth engines.

Kris helped build OTB since its inception. He gained additional hands-on experience in product management and consulting at companies including Bain and Company and Contractbook. He also founded Owlright - an AI agent for SaaS knowledge bases.

Kris is an alumnus of University of Oxford, holding a MEng degree in Engineering Science, however he wrote his Masters Thesis in Princeton where he tested a concept design of a flying car in a wind turbine.

Beyond OTB:

  • Outside of work, Kris is passionate about sports, with tennis firmly at the top of the list. He plays regularly and is a licensed tennis instructor. When he’s not on the court, you’ll likely find him playing guitar or spending time with his family.
