WPMC is an incubation fund that starts software companies co-founded by West Point grads. Were not a traditional VC fund. We also dont have a strict incubation program. Every company is different, so were focused on generalized value creation at the pre-seed stage. The pillars of WPMC: 1) We find phenomenal leaders who are well suited to be co-founders of software startups. 2) Source problems, which can be solved with software, from industry experts. 3) Provide a platform for strong leaders to execute, so they spend less time fundraising or building technical and operational frameworks, and more time growing a successful business.
