The live manager site publishes Eric Norlin and Paul Kedrosky as General Partners; its biographical career details and historical portfolio labels are preserved with source qualification rather than assumed updated acquisition statuses. The legal management company SK Ventures Management, LLC is a Delaware entity registered in Florida, document M12000005791, with a Siesta Key principal address and an April28,2026 annual report naming both managers. Individual LP and GP fund vehicles are separate from the manager brand. Kamiwaza’s own issuer announcement names SK Ventures, corroborated directly by Norlin acknowledging the investment; a media report naming SVK Capital is recorded as an unresolved attribution mismatch rather than used to merge the entities. This manager is distinct from UK SK Venture Partners, South Korean SK Group and unrelated manufacturing, property and offshore businesses with similar names.
