Investment thesis
Milliways Ventures backs early-stage founders building deep, impactful technology, positioning technology as the core driver of a company's success. The firm 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. Drawing on the partners' experience founding companies (Junglee, Kosmix), running a prior venture fund (Cambrian Ventures), and leading innovation efforts inside large companies such as Amazon and Walmart, Milliways acts as a hands-on advisor and sounding board for founders through the early journey of building a company.
