Martina Welkhoff

Managing Partner, WXR Fund

About

Martina Welkhoff brings an unconventional background to venture investing—from studying pre-med to working on organic farms to running youth programs for Major League Baseball before founding startups in mobile gaming and VR production. When skeptics questioned whether there were enough women in XR to justify a fund, she launched the WXR accelerator as an experiment to generate deal flow and data, then used those results to refine the thesis and expand into broader spatial computing and AI investments.
