FPV Ventures

Wesley has serious founder credibility—he literally built Google Analytics and was first check into multiple decacorns. Pegah brings rare operational chops from scaling billion-dollar divisions at Morgan Stanley and Cisco. Their 'missionaries not mercenaries' thesis isn't just marketing speak—they actually put their money behind 100-year vision founders when others chase quick flips. The downside? Their conviction can border on stubbornness, and their high bar for 'mission-driven' means they pass on perfectly good companies that don't meet their worldview. Decision timeline is refreshingly fast at 2-4 weeks, and they genuinely act as first call for founders post-investment.
