Investment thesis
Milliways Ventures backs early-stage technology companies, investing with conviction in founders and their technology rather than waiting for external validation, and is willing to be the sole investor in a round. Rooted in deep technology from academia, company-building, and prior investing, the partners position themselves as hands-on advisors and sounding boards for founders throughout the company-building journey. Having founded Junglee (acquired by Amazon) and Kosmix (acquired by Walmart), started Cambrian Ventures, and made early investments such as Facebook in 2005, the team emphasizes technology as central to a startup's success and its role in helping founders scale both their technology and their company.
