Ciao Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Brooklyn, New York

The word "ciao" comes from the Venetian phrase "schiavo vostro"—meaning "I'm at your service." This service-oriented ethos guides everything CIAO does.

Kem Design crafted a brand identity for CIAO inspired by the elegance of Venetian gondolas and the textures of their surrounding towns. The system merges classical references with modern design sensibilities through expressive script typography, refined low-contrast serifs, and a color palette drawn directly from Venice’s atmospheric scenery.
