WndrCo, a multi-stage holding company and technology investment firm that is transforming how people live and work, announced the closing of over $460 million in new capital. The firm’s new Seed and Venture funds – which marks the expansion of WndrCo’s venture capital arm – will target high-potential companies solving big problems across the future of work, consumer technology, cybersecurity, and developer infrastructure.
WndrCo is focused on the consumerization of software through a combination of Build, Venture, and Seed strategies. Through its Build strategy, WndrCo partners with founders and CEOs, often acquiring controlling stakes in underappreciated tech companies to turn them into category leaders such as Aura, Pango, and Super Unlimited.
WndrCo’s Venture strategy targets founders who transform industries with investments in 1Password, Airtable, Databricks, Deel, and Figma. Through its seed fund, WndrCo invests early in the next generation of great entrepreneurs, with notable investments in Material Security, Pilot, Quince, Socket, Twelve Labs, and Yassir.
WndrCo is led by Founding Partners Sujay Jaswa and Jeffrey Katzenberg along with General Partners ChenLi Wang, Anthony Saleh, and Jeffrey Nykun, a team with deep expertise in founding and scaling companies. The members of the team have been instrumental in the success of prominent companies, including DreamWorks, Disney, and Dropbox.
Since its founding in 2016, WndrCo has managed $1.3 billion in assets. Its goal is to architect new companies and elevate entrepreneurs with unique visions for transforming how people live and work.
