Wedbush Ventures

We fund early stage ventures determined to change the way we live and do business. Founders need a trusted partner in it for the long haul, with operational expertise and valuable connections.

We are thrilled to introduce Melissa Burghardt who has joined Wedbush Ventures as a Venture Partner.

Welcome Melissa!

Proud to be backing Mirza on their mission to solve the childcare crisis. A huge congratulations to Siran Cao, Mel Faxon and the Mirza team on their Bloomberg News Technology feature. Here’s to unlocking childcare for everyone. Mirza enables companies to leverage off-balance sheet government dollars to bolster their hourly workforce, making them nimbler. The best part? Eligible employees can get on average $10k/child/year, and instead of filling out several 20-page applications for different programs, Mirza makes it 1-click seamless. Connect with Mirza and check out their platform!

Wedbush Ventures is excited to back Vinay Nagaraj  and Jaya Pokuri as they build Bonfire Analytics.

At Wedbush Ventures, we look for founders with unique founder/market fit who can execute and transform markets for the better. Having seen the power of data and insights in advertising, financial services, and content recommendation, it always struck us that healthcare had lots of room to better leverage data for efficiency and improved outcomes. Vinay’s experience selling into healthcare providers and Jaya’s background in applied data science (and their hustle!) is the perfect formula to transform how healthcare solutions find the best matching providers. We can’t wait to see where they take Bonfire Analytics.

If you're looking for a haunted house or other Halloween experience, check out the Morty App! (It's also great to plan your next escape room!)

We're proud investors in Morty and excited about what Andy Bauch and Karlis Lapsins are building to reinvent the protocol of social outings. In a world where we're glued to our screens, it's the IRL experiences that really matter and become meaningful.

Join us in congratulating Petra Griffith, Managing Director and Founder of Wedbush Ventures, for being named one of the Los Angeles Times B2B Publishing's 2024 Banking & Finance Visionaries! 🌟 

Petra's over 25 years of experience building products at both startups and tech giants gives her a unique lens to find and partner with disruptive early-stage tech companies in fintech, commerce enablement, healthcare, and beyond. 

We're excited to see her recognized as a vital force in LA’s venture ecosystem and a rare female leader of a venture firm. Congrats on this well-deserved honor, Petra! 👏
