Graham & Walker

We invest in software-centric or technology-enabled companies where technology is the main engine of growth, with special focus on the care economy, health equity, the circular economy, and the future of human connection. We back founders from underrepresented communities building companies that serve women, families, caretakers, overlooked workers, and underserved populations.

Investment Thesis

Graham & Walker invests in venture capital’s biggest blindspots—founders and ideas that break the mold. The firm backs underestimated, grit-fueled founders beyond Silicon Valley who are solving real problems for everyday people. Their mission is to reshape the Nasdaq by identifying pre-consensus founders with a unique pulse on the problems they’re solving, combining capital with honest guidance, extensive networks, and a culture that embraces the messy middle of building.

What Sets Them Apart

Rooted in the Female Founders Alliance, a 5,000+ founder community providing proprietary deal flow and ongoing founder support
Values-driven partnerships built for the long haul with founder success at the heart of everything they do
Belief in substance over hype and backing pre-consensus founders before they're obvious
Focus on 'unsexy' industries and overlooked workers that mainstream VC ignores
Emphasis on AI used to make work more human and create jobs rather than displace them
Founder-centric approach combining capital with honest guidance and extensive networks
Embrace of the messy middle—high standards without being catty, ambitious without being ruthless
Flagship Founder Day program (bootcamp + group therapy model) hosted in multiple cities
