Wing Venture Partners

Wing Venture Partners

Wing Venture Partners was co-founded in 2012 by Peter Wagner, a veteran of Accel Partners where he led early investments in Atlassian, Arista Networks, and several other enterprise companies. The firm also operates Wing Venture Capital, a parallel venture strategy. Wing’s wealth origin is undisclosed, but the firm acts as an institutional venture capital firm backed by limited partners rather than a single-family office. Wing invests across early and growth stages, targeting enterprise technology in sectors including SaaS, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. The firm typically leads or co-leads rounds and takes board seats. Confirmed portfolio companies include HashiCorp (publicly listed), Snyk, dbt Labs, Apollo.io, and Lacework (per public filings and press). Geographically, Wing focuses primarily on North America, with a concentration in Silicon Valley. The firm has raised multiple funds; Wing Venture Capital Fund IV closed at $400 million in 2021 (per SEC filing). The firm also publishes the Wing Venture Capital Enterprise Technology Map, a recurring research report that charts the enterprise tech landscape. In 2023, Wing promoted Zachary DeWitt to Partner after several years as a principal investor (per press). Wing differentiates itself through thematic research and a concentrated portfolio approach. Rather than investing broadly, the firm selects a small number of categories each year and deep-dives into trends, then backs one or two companies per thesis. This model, combined with its general partner’s deep enterprise connections, gives Wing an advantage in sourcing and supporting category-defining companies.
