Investment thesis
Milliways Ventures backs founders building deep-technology companies at the earliest stages. The team, drawing on backgrounds in academia, company-building, and investing, invests when it has conviction in the founder and the technology rather than waiting for external validation, and is willing to be the sole investor in a round. Having founded companies (Junglee, Kosmix), created a venture fund (Cambrian Ventures), and led innovation efforts at large companies like Amazon and Walmart, the partners position themselves as hands-on advisors and sounding boards, helping founders build and scale their technology and organizations.
