WestWave Capital

WestWave Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm based in Redwood City, California, led by Managing Partner Warren Weiss, also a General Partner at Foundation Capital. It invests in deep-tech founders at the earliest stages, before consensus, when conviction matters most, backing AI-native companies at inception and building toward the autonomous enterprise. Every one of the firm's partners has built, scaled, and successfully exited companies themselves, including a recent addition of a former VP of Engineering at Auth0 (acquired by Okta for $6.5B), bringing hands-on operating experience directly into the firm's investment approach. WestWave focuses on AI-native enterprise software, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure, with over 70 portfolio companies and 15+ exits to date, including Tugboat Logic (acquired by OneTrust) and Accurics (acquired by Tenable). Current portfolio highlights include Antaris, Spectro Cloud, Prezent, and Dexmate, with typical check sizes ranging from $250K to $3M. The firm's investment approach centers on partnering closely with founders from seed to scale, emphasizing performance through hands-on partnership rather than passive capital, drawing on its team's collective track record of building and exiting enterprise software companies.
