# Curious Office

> Seed-stage investing in AI-first companies. Building and investing since 2007.

Curious Office is an investment studio and venture lab founded and operated by Kelly Smith, based in Boise, Idaho. 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.
