Wave Capital is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm founded in 2017, specializing in early-stage investments, particularly in marketplace and consumer-centric businesses. They operate as a highly selective seed fund, aiming to lead investments in no more than four companies annually. Their strategy extends beyond capital, offering deep operational expertise to help founders with team building, product-market fit, and go-to-market execution. The firm's geographic scope is primarily the United States, with some investments noted in Gibraltar. Wave Capital's first fund (Wave I), closed in July 2018, had $55 million in assets under management. The firm has experienced at least four acquisitions within its portfolio.
