Investment thesis
Worklife invests in companies shaping a new era of work that is more creative, flexible, and not tied to an office. The firm meets founders very early, often before they leave their current roles, and backs them regardless of stage while helping connect them to lead investors. It emphasizes helping technical teams with non-technical needs, drawing on a network of operators, creators, developer evangelists, product designers, and engineers. Worklife looks for emerging trends on platforms like GitHub and Substack as well as offline spaces, and values community, fun, and side projects as sources of the best future businesses.
