History
The Kairos Society was launched in 2008 by Ankur Jain while at Wharton Business School as a talent incubator.

Some founders from Kairos later founded Periscope, Casper, FiscalNote, and Digital Genius.

In 2017, The Kairos Society re-launched as a venture studio named Kairos HQ, building and investing in several companies in their focus areas. Rhino is an alternative to security deposits for renters. Little Spoon is a direct-to-consumer baby product brand. Cera is a homecare service for the elderly based in the United Kingdom. Kairos also invested in Bilt Rewards - a rewards program that lets renters earn points each time they make a rent payment, and menopause-focused company Alloy Health.

The firm spun out an early stage venture fund, K50, which focuses on financial services products at the pre-seed and seed stages.
