Frequently asked questions
How does Puissance Capital's investment philosophy differ from a conventional venture fund?
Puissance explicitly builds its investment process around behavioral finance principles. The firm argues that emotional discipline — not reacting to panic or chasing fomo — is the core driver of long-term returns, and it is building an AI platform to reinforce this mindset. Most venture firms focus on sourcing and selection; Puissance adds a layer of psychological training and fintech product development aimed at both its own team and a broader user base.
Is Puissance Capital developing its own fintech product, and how does it relate to the fund?
Yes. The firm states it is developing an AI-driven fintech platform designed to, in its words, 'alleviate financial suffering.' The platform aims to help users build a mindful relationship with money. Unlike a separate corporate venture arm, this appears housed within the same partnership, making the product an integrated part of Puissance's identity rather than a portfolio company.
Who makes investment decisions at Puissance Capital?
The founder and sole named decision-maker is Theodore T. Wang, who was previously a partner at Goldman Sachs in New York. The firm does not publicly list any additional investment partners, analysts, or an investment committee.
Does Puissance Capital disclose its assets under management?
No. Puissance does not publicly disclose a total AUM figure or a fund size. The firm's public materials focus on its philosophical approach and technology stack rather than capital metrics.
What sectors does Puissance Capital invest in?
The firm is structured as a generalist venture investor and has not published a sector exclusion list. The only explicit investment focus named beyond generalist venture is the intersection of AI and fintech, which aligns with its internal platform development.
