Investment thesis
Wayfinder argues there is still a shortage of investors willing to be the first to back founders and to spend real time with them, not just write a check. The partners draw on nearly a decade of founder experience, having made mistakes and lived the highs and lows of building startups, and on lessons from working with over 1,000 startups and investing in unicorn founders. With Wayfinder II, a $35M seed-stage fund writing $300K-$1M checks, the firm aims to pass those lessons to the next generation of founders building enduring companies that solve hard problems, favoring resourceful, domain-expert visionaries obsessed with their product.
