CoFound Partners - Sales is Oxygen

Sales is oxygen.

CoFound is a first check venture fund helping founders build a repeatable sales motion.

CoFound is a first check venture fund led by Jordan Wan. Jordan also runs CloserIQ, the world’s largest technology sales recruiting firm. Over the past decade, Jordan has advised leading venture capital firms and founders on early stage GTM. He has helped scale 500+ startups including Trello, Oscar Insurance, Justworks, Algolia, and Riskified.

CoFound is backed by a community of limited partners including serial entrepreneurs, growth stage operators, and innovative institutions.

Every year, we make ~5 high conviction investments as early as possible but typically at the seed stage where GTM requires a unique combination of product, marketing, and sales expertise. Once we invest, we help founders close early customers, build a repeatable sales process and recruit mission critical talent leveraging our network.

We invest in founders with deep industry expertise and clarity of thinking in nuanced markets. Our areas of interest are largely B2B across SaaS, healthcare, fintech, developer tools, climate & energy, marketplaces, and web3.

We love learning about new, unsexy markets so feel free to email us: hello@cofoundpartners.com

Our Investments

Founder Testimonials

“In a busy seed market, there are lots of operators turned investors. Jordan and CoFound stand way above the crowd as one of ChartHop's most impactful early investors. They've introduced us to top talent, customers, and given invaluable product and GTM advice. Jordan is a razor-sharp founder, engineer and sales strategist with a unique visibility of the sales industry and vision for scaling sales. Any founder looking to build an enterprise revenue strategy is lucky to have him on their team.”

“In the short period since CoFound invested in us, they have already become one of our top advisors. Jordan's guidance has been the definition of “hands on value-add” - he is in the room with us, at the whiteboard, providing real templates and frameworks for us that he’s actually used in practice. Furthermore, he is a bottomless well of helpful introductions and always seems to “know someone” to fill any role or knowledge gap we have. I am very grateful to have been introduced to CoFound. They are a partner that every founder needs in their cap table.”

We are lucky to be a portfolio company of CoFound. Jordan has provided tremendous value for Gentem in the areas of growth, hiring and scaling our business. What is most impressive is that he consistently goes above and beyond, not only to provide high quality, relevant advice but also to connect us to the right people. Jordan's network and breadth of connections is truly amazing -- from sales and marketing to capital markets, Gentem has truly benefited from CoFound. One more thing I should add is the level of thoroughness and diligence that Jordan/CoFound brings to any challenge we have faced. He is an investor, but I feel like I have an extra member of my team going to bat for Gentem and deeply invested in our success.
