About

Founded in 2019, WXR Fund is the first and only venture fund focused exclusively on what the founders know to be the two greatest opportunities of our time: the next evolution of computing and women-led startups. The organization advocates for underrepresented founders changing the VR/AR/AI landscape. Amy LaMeyer and Martina Welkhoff, the co-founders of WXR Fund, form a nucleus of know-how and vision into the spatial computing ecosystem with uniquely complementary professional journeys. Welkhoff brings an insider's perspective as a successful startup founder and industry luminary. LaMeyer offers an essential perspective with experience in corporate development, M&A, and in artificial intelligence as well as being a globally recognized influencer. They are joined by Founding Venture Partners Malia Probst and Abby Albright as well as Venture Partner Jason McDowall.
