Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at WTI?
Investment decisions are made by WTI's General Partners. Maurice Werdegar and Don McGovern founded the firm in 1980 and remain active in the investment committee. Brian Wilcove, also a General Partner, rounds out the senior leadership team. The firm operates with a relatively flat partnership structure rather than a large centralized investment committee.
Does WTI participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
WTI's core business is direct lending to operating companies, not fund commitments. The firm sources, underwrites, and structures its own transactions, maintaining direct relationships with portfolio company management teams and their venture capital backers. WTI does not operate as a fund-of-funds and has not publicly indicated participation in LP commitments to other venture firms.
Which sectors does WTI explicitly avoid?
WTI focuses on technology sectors with recurring revenue models and established venture-investor ecosystems. The firm has historically avoided capital-intensive industries like hard-tech manufacturing, biotech, and pharmaceuticals, where traditional asset-backed lending or equity financing dominates. WTI also generally avoids pre-revenue companies and sectors with unpredictable regulatory environments.
