Curious Office
Seed-stage investing in AI-first companies. Building and investing since 2007.
We believe the best seed stage investor partners are builders themselves. We work alongside founders from the earliest stages — providing capital, strategic guidance, and decades of experience building digital products. Founded and operated by Kelly Smith. Based in Boise, Idaho.

04Approach
Everything works better when you put builders next to builders. We don't make slide decks or tell founders how to run their company. If we can't improve the design, the code, or the product directly, we stay out of the way. The best epiphanies happen in the weeds — in the repo, in the prototype, in the actual work.
