Long Journey VenturesCheck size: Long Journey Ventures does not publish a standard current check-size range on its official site.
Justin Mares invests or supports investments through Long Journey Ventures's published strategy: Back unconventional founders extremely early and build long-duration relationships around ideas that feel weird, magical or non-consensus before they become obvious.
Bold founders with unconventional insight, product intuition, personal authenticity and a healthy disregard for the status quo.
No categorical pass list is public; conventional consensus ideas and transactional founder-investor relationships run counter to the firm's stated character.
Share the weird or magical insight, why this team is uniquely meant to build it, the earliest proof and the doors or barriers Long Journey can help address.
