About Milliways Ventures

At Milliways, we invest in companies creating innovative and impactful technology. We Love Technology Our backgrounds are in deep technology from our roots in academia, our founding of companies, and our investments. We see technology as the core to success, and we are there with you to build and take your technology and company to the next level. We Love Founders Having been founders of two companies, we have been there before. We act as your sounding board and advisor through the sometimes-lonely journey of building a company. We Love to Invest Early We invest when we have conviction in you and your technology. We don't wait to get validation from others. And we are willing to be the only investor in your round. We Love Building We have founded two companies, a venture fund, and led breakthrough efforts in large companies. We started Junglee (acquired by Amazon.com) and Kosmix (acquired by Walmart), as well as Cambrian Ventures, one of the best-performing funds of its vintage. We helped create Amazon.com's marketplace business, the concept underlying Amazon.com's Mechanical Turk, and @WalmartLabs, the innovation arm for the world's largest retailer. We invested in Facebook in 2005 when they were a handful of people. We know how to make something out of nothing and recognize when someone else is doing the same.
