Kim Vogel

Kim Vogel, Managing Partner. 15+ years of ecosystem building and workforce development. Kim understands how talent pipelines, support networks, and community infrastructure drive founder success — because she’s spent her career building them. That translates directly into sourcing, founder support, and portfolio development for Gazelle. Her role as Regional Network Lead for 1 Million Cups East Coast Region on behalf of the Kauffman Foundation connects her to one of the nation’s largest entrepreneurial networks, giving her visibility into how founders are building across the entire eastern seaboard. That national reach, combined with deep local roots in Tampa Bay, gives Gazelle a sourcing network that’s broader and more trusted than what a traditional emerging fund builds through cold outreach alone.
