W Fund

We have a singular focus on investing in founders who personify their product, can effortlessly address their target market, and are obsessed with solving the problem. We get excited about technology founders who have a confident path to profits, are excited about the contributions our extensive network could have on their startup, are 100% committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, and care about the well-being of themselves and their team. After all, people are truly the biggest asset a growing company can have. We care about profitability over hockey sticks, and healthy growth over stacked venture rounds, and don’t rely on a small handful of our portfolio companies to contribute to positive fund performance. We invest in technology companies that are ethically forward and are working to make the world better – whether it be by providing more access (that’s a big one for us), creating solutions for underserved markets, promoting the positive use of data, or what have you. Some of the things we’re excited about are FinTech, Media & Entertainment, EdTech, Health and well-being, AI (with some caveats!), Sustainability and Environmental Tech, AgTech, Big Data (more caveats!), LegalTech. Some of the things we’re less excited about are basically anything that suggests a questionable data and privacy moral compass, Social Media (unless you’ve got the next, non-evil version of Facebook… we’ll take a look at that), HR Tech, AdTech, BioTech, Defense.
