TJ Kawamura — Builder & Investor

I'm a builder and investor focused on consumer products and emerging platforms.

I invest in and advise early-stage teams, working closely with founders on product, go-to-market, and long-term strategy.

Most recently, I was Co-Founder and Chief Development Officer at Everyrealm, a holding company that invests in, acquires, and develops digital media products. The company is backed by a16z, Lightspeed, and Coinbase Ventures.

Previously, I was a Partner at Republic, advising leading startups on product strategy and capital formation. Before that, I co-founded Compound and led product from inception through its acquisition.

In my spare time, I explore the world through travel, photography, reading, and writing.
