Long Journey Ventures

What is Long Journey Ventures?

Long Journey Ventures is an early-stage investment firm with a focus on investing in a variety of industries, including Software, Business Solutions, FinTech, Hardware, Sales & Marketing, A.I. & Big Data, HealthTech & Fitness, Future of Work, Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Healthcare & Wellness, and companies with a focus on women.

They target investments ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000, with a sweet spot of approximately $500,000. They specialize in stages from Pre-Seed through Series B and manage assets worth around $35,000,000.

Long Journey Ventures is not interested in AdTech, Functional SaaS, Consumer Electronics, Consumer Social, or Productivity.

Their investment philosophy includes a commitment to long-term partnership with founders, which is encapsulated in their tagline, 'We go long with long-term people.' Key values for the firm include an appreciation for 'magically weird' details, aiming to work with founders who are outliers and bring unconventional ideas to the table.

They want to embody the characteristics of a 'bubbe' - wise, protective, direct, and supportive of the founders they invest in.

The team follows a 'Chaotic Good' character alignment from Dungeons & Dragons, prioritizing freedom, independence, and a fun approach to business.

They take the stewardship of their Limited Partners' (LPs) capital very seriously, underscoring the importance of respecting the value of investment and looking to back founders who do the same. Long Journey Ventures employs a disciplined approach to investing, aiming to return significant value to their LPs, and seeks out founders who share this perspective on money and investment as a tool for enabling freedom and building wealth.
