Long Journey Ventures

Long Journey Ventures is a venture capital firm that describes itself through the values it applies with founders. It says it favours long-term relationships and the outliers other investors overlook, and it runs events and a company culture built around that outlook.

What Long Journey Ventures does

• Venture investment: funding for founders it considers unconventional or ambitious.
• Supportive partnership: the firm compares its role to that of a protective, direct-speaking grandmother, called a bubbe.
• Community events: gatherings and activities aimed at founders and its wider network.

Clients

Founders with unusual ideas and strong personalities, who want an investor happy to talk openly. It also manages money for limited partners and says it treats that responsibility carefully.
