14W

14W is a New York-based venture capital firm founded in 2010, with a global team spanning New York, London, and Madrid. It manages the 14W Venture Partners Fund, with roughly $300 million in assets under management, and describes itself as curiosity-driven and conviction-focused in partnering with category-disrupting founders. The firm invests in consumer internet, marketplaces, e-commerce, CPG, media, healthcare, and software, across stages from pre-seed through late-stage rounds, with geographic focus on North America and Europe. Notable investments include Deliveroo, The RealReal, Wallapop, Bank of London, and Exoticca, reflecting a portfolio that has produced several unicorns and one IPO across consumer and fintech categories. 14W's investment approach favors thoughtful, high-conviction bets in founders creating new categories rather than broad, high-volume dealmaking. Its criteria prioritize companies making everyday life more accessible, efficient, and connected across consumer-facing markets.
