Their Thesis

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.

How to Pitch Them

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.

What Excites Them

Bold founders with unconventional insight, product intuition, personal authenticity and a healthy disregard for the status quo.

What They Pass On

No categorical pass list is public; conventional consensus ideas and transactional founder-investor relationships run counter to the firm's stated character.
