Heard around LocalHost
Surya Maddula
Bengaluru, India
Capital can be found anywhere, but what sets LocalHost apart is their involvement beyond the wire transfer—the check is just the beginning. Simply put, you won’t find mentorship and support like this anywhere else.
Billimarie Robinson
Lancaster, U.S.
Working with Kei and the team has been the experience of a lifetime. They are committed to backing social impact projects! Thanks to localhost, our nonprofit has expanded beyond a simple story into a global climate movement.
Jayant Raj
New York, U.S.
Sometimes, having even one person believe in you can change everything. Localhost was that first believer. They are excited to hear about crazy ideas from young builders when the average angel investor would shut them down.
Dan Nadata
Tokyo, Japan
LocalHost plugged me into a network of insanely talented people and gave me the resources to actually build something real. It’s not just superficial "networking"—it allows you to build personal connections that makes all the difference.
Hardeep Ghambir
Toronto, Canada
I've been working with Kei for a year now and the team has been helpful in backing our events empowering builders. They have also gone out of their way to support people in the Residency and I’d recommend people — especially community-builders to work with them.
Adrian Martinez
Los Angeles, U.S.
LocalHost was one of my first believers, giving me both the funding and the invaluable guidance that helped shape what is today!
