Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at WIND Ventures?
Managing Director Brian Walsh leads the investment team from San Francisco. He joined in 2014 to build the firm after roles at Motorola Ventures and 3M's New Ventures group. Investment recommendations are made by Walsh's team and approved through COPEC's corporate governance structure, given the firm's single-LP treasury funding model.
How is WIND Ventures funded, and does it take outside capital?
WIND Ventures deploys directly from the corporate balance sheet of Empresas Copec, the publicly traded Chilean energy and resources group. It does not raise external fund vehicles, does not have outside limited partners, and is not a fund-of-funds. This permanent-capital structure allows the firm to hold positions without fixed fund-life constraints.
