Our Track Record
Building, backing, and scaling category-defining companies
Before Whipsmart, we built, scaled and invested in companies that defined their categories. A $6.3 billion exit. Thirteen years inside Google’s space and connectivity bets. The world’s largest radar-satellite constellation, and the first data center headed for the Moon. The operating and investing experience below is what we now bring to every founder we partner with.
The companies and outcomes below reflect our principals’ prior work at other firms — as operators, board members, advisors, and investors. They are not the investment performance or track record of Whipsmart Ventures or any fund it manages, and milestones such as acquisitions and financings are company events, not investor returns.
