WndrCo

Overview

WndrCo is a technology investment firm founded in 2016 that builds, acquires, and invests in companies focused on future of work software, consumer technology, cybersecurity, and developer infrastructure. It operates through three strategies: Build/Buyout by taking controlling stakes in underappreciated tech firms like Aura and Twingate; Growth investments in established startups such as Figma and Robinhood; and Seed funding for early-stage ventures including Dapper Labs. The firm combines capital with operational support from partners experienced at companies like Dropbox and DreamWorks.

History

WndrCo was founded in 2016 by Sujay Jaswa, former head of business at Dropbox, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, co-founder of DreamWorks. It has grown by closing over $460 million in new Seed and Venture funds to target high-potential companies. The firm has built a portfolio across stages, acquiring stakes in companies like Pango Group and investing in category leaders.

Reputation
