What a triathlon can tell us about the future of startups. It all comes down to a few hours.


Kind Words from Friends:

  • Angela Winegar (VP of Growth at Invisible): “Just had an intro call with [a founder] and she said of the 100+ investor calls I’ve had, Erica was by far the best and most thoughtful.”

  • Omer Rabin (Co-Founder of Anyword): “If you’re making your first steps in a promising early-stage startup and looking for a backer who’s truly founder-friendly, hard-working, and pulling up her sleeves for her young portfolio, hit her up. Trust me.”

  • Brian Yip (Head of Growth at Kudos): “Erica is probably one of the best coworkers l've ever worked with. She's extremely ambitious, executes (she actually "walks the walk" vs. MANY other VCs), and has an incredible sense of ethics & values which is more than welcome in tech.”

  • Adam Delehanty (Founder of Ghost): “Erica Wenger is my favorite person to riff with, arguably in the entire hemisphere… what a blast to watch her fund take off.” 

  • Sydney Thomas (GP at Symphonic Capital): “Love seeing you create your own definition of success instead of relying on old definitions that don’t serve you or reflect the time that we are in, can’t wait to coinvest with you!”

  • Sarah Hinkfuss (Partner at Bain Capital): “Great analysis Erica on how the next generation of great companies will look different than the past: “elephant” companies have a community orientation, pursue purpose-driven growth, have thick skin, and live long!” 

  • Jessica Peltz Zatulove (Founding GP at Hannah Grey): “Great analysis Erica - spot on perspective that this next generation of companies will look, behave, and prioritize differently than the unicorns of the last decade.”
