Wave Capital

Wave Capital is an early-stage venture capital seed fund based in San Francisco, founded in 2017 and run as a lean two-partner firm with no additional staff. The fund specializes in marketplace startups and was conceived as the "Airbnb mafia" fund, backing pre-Series-A founders drawn from the Airbnb, Dropbox, and Facebook alumni networks. Wave leads a highly selective portfolio, making no more than four investments per year (typically around $1M) and supporting founders with operating experience beyond capital. It publishes no developer API, documentation, or developer portal — it is a private investment firm, catalogued in the API Evangelist network as a company/VC profile surfaced via foundry-group's portfolio.

Wave Capital is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Venture Capital, Seed Fund, Marketplaces, and Early Stage.
