About
We invest in startups tackling big markets and big problems using technology — whether it's in software, climate, frontier tech, AI, logistics or more.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- Does the world really need another VC fund? If you ask a VC, the answer is always no. If you ask a founder, they'll tell you there's still a shortage of people willing to be the first to bet on them. Who not only write a check, but actually spend time with them. Who undersand. For us, that understanding comes from nearly a decade as founders where we've made our fair share of mistakes. It also comes from feeling, first hand, the highs and lows involved with running a startup and still loving the journey. We've had the good fortune to learn from 1,000+ startups, and invest in iconic unicorn founders. We've learned from them what greatness truly looks like. With Wayfinder , our goal is to have all of these lessons benefit the next generation of founders.Source (opens in a new tab)
