For founders who see the future first.
Thesis
New technologies, behaviors, and ideas rarely arrive everywhere at once. Some founders see what’s coming before the rest of us do.
At the earliest stages, we invest in people more than ideas. We look for founders who are curious, move with urgency, and get better every time we meet them.
Then we do everything we can to help them realize their potential.
From founders
Anvisha PaiModa
“Warren was one of the first checks in my company Moda.
As a second time founder, I’ve worked with a lot of investors and Warren is at the very top of that list. He previously founded, scaled and sold a startup and brings incredible product taste. He understands growth at a deep level. I always come away from our conversations with new ideas and things to try.
Warren tells it like it is — he’s able to support founders in their ambitions without sugarcoating things. He’s deeply trustworthy and founder-aligned.
Finally — he’s cultivated an amazing community of founders and investors. He can open lots of doors, make valuable connections for hiring and company building.
Warren is one of the few investors that can really change the trajectory of your company.”

“Warren backed us at ground zero, and his support has been foundational as we’ve built Known.
He has a unique ability to see both the vision and the execution details, and he’s been instrumental on both fronts. When we were navigating early product questions, he jumped in with practical advice drawn from his founder days. When we needed doors opened, he made introductions that moved the needle.
Most importantly, he’s someone who shows up with real care for the people behind the company. Having Warren in our corner has made the wild early days of building Known feel a lot less lonely.”

“From the moment Warren saw our vision, he invested time and genuine care in our journey.
Having been an entrepreneur multiple times himself, he understands the realities of founder life and consistently goes to bat for the companies he backs.
Warren has supported us early, truly acting as a partner rather than just an investor. If you’re seeking someone who will listen intently, roll up their sleeves, and stand by you through thick and thin, Warren is the person you want in your corner.”
Team
Before founding Time Travel, Warren was a Partner at Pear VC and a Scout at Andreessen Horowitz.
Previously, Warren led three venture-backed startups, raised four rounds of venture funding, and led products used by hundreds of millions of people.
His most recent company, Knowable, was acquired by Medium, where he was a product executive.
He has spent his career as a founder, operator, investor, and community builder.
Timeless values
We’ve been founders. We listen intently, speak candidly, and care deeply about the people we back.
The best ideas often sound strange before they sound inevitable. We like meeting founders when almost no one else can see what they see.
What we build today becomes the world our kids inherit. We’re here to back a future we’ll be proud to leave them.
