Frequently asked questions
What investment stages does Wind target?
Wind invests across the early-stage spectrum, from seed through growth and general venture rounds. The firm's mandate covers startups at their earliest institutional raise as well as later venture-stage companies seeking growth capital.
How is Wind structured as an investment firm?
Wind operates as an independent asset manager, not a corporate venture arm or family office. This structure means the firm raises capital from external limited partners and deploys it with a pure return mandate, answering to fund investors rather than a parent entity's strategic priorities.
