Company profile
researched Aug 2026CoFound (also listed as CoFound Partners) is an early-stage venture capital firm that provides seed capital to founders at the inception stage. The firm states it seeks contrarian founders pursuing ideas that appear impossible or uncategorizable today, and positions itself as a founder's earliest and most involved investor. Its stated stage focus spans pre-seed, seed and Series A, and it is described as an early-stage firm that helps founders build a repeatable sales motion.
The firm operates as a solo-GP vehicle led by General Partner Jordan Wan, who states he previously spent more than a decade running a go-to-market executive search firm in technology and worked with more than 1,000 startups scaling from seed to IPO. CoFound describes its investment thesis as backing founders building outside established startup clusters, in markets that appear too small, complex or difficult to enter, and expert contrarians reimagining industries from first principles.
