Room40 Ventures

Room40 Ventures is the early-stage venture arm of Room40, a New York City-based crossover crypto and digital-assets investment firm founded in 2017. The broader Room40 platform operates a multi-strategy hedge fund alongside its early-stage venture funds, targeting both private and public crypto markets. Room40 Ventures partners with founders building base-layer protocols or scaling companies powered by blockchain to catalyze the next wave of web3 adoption across DeFi, infrastructure and web3 commerce. The firm is led by Co-Founder and General Partner Wesley Tang-Wymer, a founding team member of SoftBank Group International and the SoftBank Vision Fund, where he oversaw investments and held board roles in growth-stage fintech, transportation and logistics companies, prior to which he was an equities analyst at Point72 and an investment banker at Morgan Stanley. Room40 Ventures invests primarily at the Series A stage in US-based startups, with checks in the $1M to $10M range. Third Prime is a frequent co-investor. The firm operates with a team of six, including three partners, and has built a portfolio of 23 investments. Notable portfolio names include Mealco and MainVest, and the most recent disclosed investment was Daylight Energy in October 2025. The portfolio is concentrated in web3, fintech and blockchain infrastructure, with 12 web3, 5 fintech and 3 SaaS companies tracked. Beyond capital, Room40 Ventures assists founders in navigating private and public crypto markets, designing sustainable tokenomics and accessing the firm's deep network across global fintech and supply chain relationships -- advantages drawn directly from Tang-Wymer's decade-long experience supporting some of SoftBank's most complex cross-border fintech investments.
